“Real music by real musicians,” the famous artist Prince was able to give the most precise characteristics regarding the musicals spirit and joy, which describes Boney Fields perfectly. Just like Prince, the Chicago born trumpet player Boney Fields is part of this generation of African-American musicians born to tame the stage.
Boney Fields faithfully merges Funkand Blues, the two sides of the same Great Black Music, and is an unstoppable showman who will bring energetic funk and blues rhythms to Liepaja Concert Hall during the summer heat.
"Nothing beats the pleasure that you get from being in front of a crowd surrounded by your band, making music together," /Boney Fields/
A relentless showman, Boney Fields makes his music travel in each and every corner of the planet when invited to prestigious festivals such as Jazz à Vienne, Jazzin Marciac, Madajazzcar, Tabarka Jazz Festival… It is during these shows that he perfected the vibrant repertoire of his 6th album, a record made with the help of a renewed collective of musicians.
Growing up both to ghetto songs and Gospel songs praised by his parents, Boney Fields chose 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 along side legends such as Lucky Peterson, Luther Allison, James Cotton, Buddy Guy, Liz Mc Comb, as well as George Clinton, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley or Bootsy Collins.
