Album Notes & Community Reviews
Capitalizing on the massive global success of 'Moving Waves', the Dutch progressive titans delivered an expansive, heavily improvised double album. 'Focus 3' is a remarkably technical, wonderfully melodic showcase of intricate jazz-rock fusion, centering heavily on the virtuosic guitar-and-flute interplay of Jan Akkerman and Thijs van Leer.
