FSH Trio

Kevin Field is a dynamic and experienced live performer and is known for the respect and affinity he garners from his fellow musicians. He is a Senior Lecturer in Jazz Studies at The University of Auckland, and has contributed to numerous Rattle albums, beginning with the label’s first serious foray into jazz, Irony by FSH Trio (2009). He subsequently appeared on Oxide (Samsom Nacey Haines, 2011); Dog (with Roger Manins, Ron Somsom, and Olivier Holland, 2014 Jazz Album of the Year); and No Dogs Allowed (Dog, 2018).

Bassist, composer, arranger, and educator, Olivier Holland has performed at major festivals and venues in Europe, Australasia, and the US, with artists such as Geoffrey Keezer, Terreon Gully, Joscho Stephan, Denis Gaebel, Danny Weiss, Djamel Laroussi, Nathan Haines, Whirimako Black, Stefon Harris, John Goldsby, Doug Lawrence, Jamey Oehlers, James Muller, and Florian Ross, to name a few. In 2017, he also performed and presented at the ISB (International Society of Bassists) World Convention in New York.

Born in Canada, drummer and composer Ron Samsom became a proud citizen of Aotearoa in 2018. He is the co-ordinator of jazz performance at University of Auckland, and owns five drum kits and way too much windsurfing equipment … most surprisingly, he finds time to use all of it.
