Fieldtrip is a Montreal-based trio that is “shaping the future of Canadian jazz”
according to Maurice Hogue of Winnipeg's One Man's Jazz. All in their twenties, they
“compose, arrange and play like highly seasoned vets” and have “already asserted
themselves as one of the most promising, unique and exciting ensembles on the
Canadian jazz scene” acclaims Cindy McLeod of jazzelements.com. Fieldtrip takes you
on “an exciting journey to a place yet to be named, [...bringing you] into their surreal
world with influences from Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, modal jazz, bebop and African
folk music.” - Keith Price, dig! Magazine
Fieldtrip is comprised of Colin Power (alto saxophone), Patrick Reid (bass) and Mark
Nelson (drums and percussion) and was formed in 2005 after their graduation from the
prestigious jazz performance program at McGill University. They have released two full
length albums including their self-titled debut Fieldtrip (2007) and their most recent
offering The Darfur Suite (2008). With the support of the Canada Council for the Arts,
they promoted both releases with three extensive Canadian tours that brought them
praise from audiences and critics across the nation. Roger Levesque of The Edmonton
Journal calls them “entertaining” with a “strong but relaxed chemistry” while Cherie
Hanson of BC Musician Magazine raves that they are “not to be missed”.
In both 2007 and 2008, Fieldtrip spent the winter months fostering their unique sound at
the Banff Centre for the Arts upon being awarded scholarships to attend its Creative
Residency program. Most recently, they were invited to attend its International
Workshop in Creative Music where they were honored to be selected by Dave Douglas
to perform with him in the closing concert that featured Ingrid Jensen, Ambrose
Akinmusire, Wayne Krantz and The Bad Plus.
With over one hundred performances in venues across the country, they have also
collaborated with a diverse array of Canada's top jazz artists including Mike Allen, Adi
Braun, Chet Doxas, Jim Head, Kelly Jefferson, Christine Jensen, Andy Milne and The
October Trio as well as international artists such as Benoit Delbecq (France) and the
award winning Tin Alley String Quartet (Australia).
