Scott Fields
by AAJ Italy Staff
01. B.B. King - Live at the Regal (MCA). Da ragazzino ho consumato diverse copie in vinile di questo capolavoro del blues, registrato a pochi minuti di strada dalla mia casa natale di Chicago. Quando l’anno scorso vi ritornai, visitando il Jazz Record Mart ho acquistato la versione in CD e ora sto cercando di consumare ...
Scott Fields: Bitter Love Songs
by Troy Collins
While the sardonic album title alludes to a session fraught with rancorous despair, guitarist Scott Fields' Bitter Love Songs is, perhaps ironically, one of his most accessible efforts. Born in Chicago, but now based in Cologne, Germany, Fields recorded this date in his new home town with German bassist Sebastian Gramss and Portuguese drummer Joao Lobo. ...
Scott Fields Freetet: Bitter Love Songs
by AAJ Italy Staff
“Sì, certo. Possiamo rimanere amici in ogni caso”; “Ti andavo bene finchè i tuoi amici non si sono impicciati”; “Il mio amore è amore, il tuo amore è odio”. Parte dai titoli, ma anche dalle impietose e stringatissime note di copertina la tremenda autoironia di questo disco, in cui Fields sembra voler riflettere con cadenze tragicomiche ...
Scott Fields: Bitter Love Songs
by Clifford Allen
The Freetet is ostensibly Cologne-based guitarist Scott Fields' “traditional blowing vehicle," and Bitter Love Songs is his first in the guitar-bass-drums format since Mamet (Delmark, 2001), with bassist Michael Formanek and drummer Michael Zerang. On Bitter Love Songs, he's joined by German bassist Sebastian Gramss and Portuguese drummer Joao Lobo. What makes this date a semi- ...
Denouement
By Scott Fields
Label: Clean Feed Records
Released: 2007
Track listing: Her children are her half-siblings and she the daughter her husband never knew he fathered; Although each
had married the other for money, she isn't Italian, or Catholic, or wealthy, but instead is a poor Hasidic who
works in Little Italy and he isn't a Texas billionaire, but instead is a Queens grease monkey who collects Roy
Rogers memorabilia; The shots he missed were not for the payoff but to punish the tyrannical coach he
thought had driven his father to suicide 18 years earlier; The "genius" injections that had seemed to work
had no effect on his own intelligence but caused him to emit chemicals that made people near him dumber;
His late wife wasn't unfaithful and "his" children were brown and yellow because one testicle each from a
negro and an Asian had been transplanted into his own scrotum; The man he killed for "raping" his wife was
really her lover and her first husband, or, more accurately, her only husband, since they had never divorced;
Nothing had been wrong with him and he spent more time than a year in a body cast being "tenderized" by a
cannibal doctor.
Beckett
By Scott Fields
Label: Clean Feed Records
Released: 2007
Track listing: Breath; Play; Come and Go; What Where; Rockaby.
Scott Fields Ensemble: Denouement
by Troy Collins
Chicago-based guitarist Scott Fields most successful projects, such as Mamet (Delmark, 2001), and Beckett (Clean Feed, 2007), offer a novel merger of structured improvisation inspired by literary sources, this album included. Recorded in 1997 and previously available only on Fields' own tiny Geode label, this session sat dormant for ten years before this Clean Feed reissue.
Scott Fields Ensemble: Dénouement
by AAJ Italy Staff
Registrata dieci anni fa, la musica di Dénouement ha faticato - succede, non c'è da stupirsi - per trovare il modo di venire pubblicata, venendo palleggiata tra etichette e produttori vari, per poi uscire una prima volta con la non fortunata etichetta Geode di Scott Fields e finalmente approdare a una label di qualità indiscutibile e ...
Scott Fields Ensemble: Beckett
by Troy Collins
Beckett follows in the conceptual footsteps of Mamet (Delmark, 2001), guitarist Scott Fields' previous project inspired by an author. Tracking the thematic similarities between Beckett's writing and Fields' compositions is a tenuous prospect, like any project that yields inspiration from a divergent art form. Nonetheless, the album provides a challenging and rewarding listen on its own, ...
