What happens when you bring a classically trained violinist from Bolivia, a classical guitarist from the Southern U.S and a world music percussionist from Southeast Washington, D.C. together in the DC area? - The World Jam Club, an ensemble founded by guitarist Peter Fields to share the joyful, spontaneous collaborations of world class musicians with the widest possible audience. Their repertoire consists of Peter’s award-winning compositions and masterpieces of Afro-Cuban and Brazilian music by such greats as Augustin Lara, Ernesto Lecuona, Ary Barroso and Antonio Carlos Jobim. The ensemble consists of Peter Fields on classical guitar, Dannice Crespo on violin and viola and Kevo on percussion. Often they are joined by Brazillian percussion virtuoso Bruno Lucini.
The original compositions of Peter Fields are the synthesis of a lifetime of listening to and playing music from all times and cultures. He reaches out to the world for inspiration and, through his music, strives to remind us all of the emotional and spiritual experiences that unite us all as brothers and sisters on this planet.
Their first CD, Sun Dance, was released June 1, 2008.
Recent performances include the University of Mary Washington Multi-Cultural Fair, First Night Warrenton, the Bluemont Concert Series, the Monday Night on the Steps series presented by the Central Rappahannock Regional Library, and the Washington Folk Festival.
