Try this (which has the Kind of Biue rhythm section) and maybe My Funny Valentine (which has Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams and Ron Carter).

Jazz chat time. Miles Davis' post-Coltrane, pre-Shorter era is hugely underrated. This record is sensational (as are the live recordings with George Coleman on tenor).

If anyone's after one, I've got a spare ticket going for this sold-out show tonight, as I bought one before later being asked to host it.

Another one of those mad schemes where everything that makes an area desirable from a developer's point of view is threatened by their development. A few days left to let them know that this is a terrible idea.

Hopefully, we'll all have a laugh showing just what can happen when a smidgeon of inspiration and the odd over-ambitious tendency meet the very real constraints of budget, time and a wavering level of expertise.

Yeah, I think they've just increased the presale allocation. 🤞

Field Music @fieldmusicmusic.bsky.social · Mar 27

I believe they've increased the allocation so yeah, might be worth trying again.

Field Music @fieldmusicmusic.bsky.social · Mar 27

The presale allocation was only fifty - they must have gone in a flash. Plenty more tomorrow!

We haven’t done much looking back over those 20 years and we probably won't make a habit of it in the future, but just this once we’re going to allow ourselves a moment of nostalgia. We’ll be at the Brudenell in Leeds (7th Nov), Islington Assembly Hall (8th) and the Fire Station in Sunderland (14th)

August 2025 marks twenty years since the release of Field Music's self-titled debut album. To celebrate this momentous and terrifying anniversary, we’re reconvening the original Field Music trio for three special shows playing songs from that first, formative incarnation of the band.
