Field Notes is an Ottawa-based story-telling band: Pete Woods (soprano, alto, tenor saxophone), Kyle Jordan (guitar and effects), Chris Pond (double bass), José García (drums). Field Notes is conversational and warm, meditative and swinging. They are enlivened by community connections and social issues, intentionally seeking musical inspiration from non-musical sources: poetry, visual arts, political discourse.
The members of Field Notes appreciate that music is best made in close communion with neighbours, and in settings where the events and news of the day are close at hand.
Field Notes has been playing and hosting evenings of ‘music and meditation’ in Ottawa’s New Edinburgh neighbourhood (mackayunited.ca) for several years. Along the way, the band has cultivated a repertoire that is spontaneous, grounded and emotionally resonant. They move easily from jazz standards to Brazilian folk songs to Appalachian hymnody, while also exploring original compositions and free improvisations.
