With the release of their fourth album, FIELD has further refined its unique sound—a subtly interwoven tapestry of multidirectional counterpoints, deeply rooted in jazz and moving freely between abstraction and concreteness. With Christopher Dell on vibraphone, Jonas Westergaard on bass, and Peter Bruun on drums, the band brings together four compelling figures from the German and Danish scenes and, since its (re)formation in 2018, has quickly evolved into a tightly knit group whose musical language is characterized by subtlety and power....

The TAZ wrote: “Field plays an open yet precisely articulated form of jazz, with complex melodies that are always easy to follow and a swing that keeps evolving (…) yet never comes across as dry or academic. There is an anarchic, ironic tone that never succumbs to grand gestures.”

“The piece is not contrapuntal, but rather ‘trans’-punctual, in a sense; it transcends boundaries while simultaneously acknowledging them.”
4 stars, Concerto 5/2021

“The interplay among the four musicians on this album is captivating; ideas flow back and forth at a rapid pace, as they venture down winding paths only to leave them behind again. Even improvisation has its own story, its own roots and experiences; the history of jazz resonates throughout this music, reflected upon and carried forward with passion and insight.”
Johannes Kloth, 23.7.21, ARD Radiofestival

“This music is intellectual, but not overly cerebral. At times, it brings to mind Jimmy Giuffre’s trio with its abstract coolness. There are constant abrupt role reversals and shifts in perspective, yet these never devolve into intellectual puzzles. The defining word for this band is communication. There are no safety nets or fallbacks; here, bold mental imagery is explored with a keen sense of artistic vision and a complete departure from routine.”
Ulrich Steinmetzger, Jazzpodium Oktober 2021
