\u201cReal music by real musicians\u201d as\u00a0Prince<\/strong>\u00a0used to say. Just like\u00a0Prince<\/strong>, the trumpet player\u00a0Boney Fields<\/strong>\u00a0is part of this generation of\u00a0African-American<\/strong>\u00a0musicians born to tame the stage.<\/p>\n

So it is no coincidence that his playing partners are named\u00a0Lucky Peterson, Luther Allison, James Cotton, Buddy Guy, Jimmy Johnson, Albert Collins, Bernard Allison, AC Reed, Liz Mc Comb<\/strong>, as well as\u00a0Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley or Bootsy Collins<\/strong>\u00a0are some of his recording sessions fellows.<\/p>\n

Boney Fields<\/strong>\u00a0faithfully merges\u00a0Funk and Blues,<\/strong>\u00a0the two sides of the same Great Black Music, and he does so with the skills acquired during a career spent playing on stages all over the world.<\/p>\n

When this child of a\u00a0Chicago<\/strong>-based large family started his career, he realized that he could have turned bad. But growing up lured both by the sirens of the ghetto and the Gospel songs praised by his parents,\u00a0Boney Fields<\/strong>\u00a0chose a unique voice, his own, that he enhanced with the practice of an instrument, the trumpet. The two-fold talent of this singer\/trumpet player propelled him from one session to the next alongside those legends. He accompanies them in studio sessions or on stage and additionally composes \u2013 during his \u201cspare\u201d time- complex arrangements for brass
\nsections like those of\u00a0Tower of Power<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Earth Wind and Fire.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Nothing beats the pleasure that you get from being in front of a crowd surrounded by your band, making music together.”<\/p>\n

– Boney Fields –<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Far from Tinseltown glitz and glam, it is on stage that\u00a0Boney Fields<\/strong>\u00a0learned the profession and enriched his artistry. The tours are long, the roads not always paved with gold. No matter the lack of sleep or number of miles traveled, being on stage is the only thing\u00a0Boney Fields<\/strong>\u00a0lives for.<\/p>\n

And the stage is where he finally carved his own style, a retro-futuristic mix of\u00a0Blues and Brass Funk.<\/strong>\u00a0A genuine aesthetics that he deploys on records as well as on stages with his own band, an explosive septet who mastered the magical formula of the groove of the origins long ago. Everywhere they go\u00a0Boney Fields<\/strong>\u00a0& his Band leave like a highly energetic and exhilarating streak of powder.<\/p>\n

A relentless showman,\u00a0Boney Fields<\/strong>\u00a0makes his music travel in each and every corner of the planet when invited to prestigious festivals such as\u00a0Jazz \u00e0 Vienne, Jazz in Marciac, Madajazzcar, Tabarka Jazz Festival<\/strong>\u2026 It is during these shows that he perfected the vibrant repertoire of his 7 albums with his own collective of musicians.<\/p>\n

And it is on those same stages that one will have to come and see him play his new collection of \u201creal\u201c songs performed, as\u00a0Prince<\/strong>\u00a0used to say, \u201cby real musicians\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
