FIELD is the Quartet of the Berliner saxophonist Uli Kempendorff. Until the fall of 2012 the group was still named the Uli Kempendorff Quartet and had been working together under that name for a number of years which also saw the releases of two recordings ("Out With It", 2007 on phonector and "Louise", 2010 on JazzHausMusik, Cologne). Field plays compositions written by its leader, which are inspired by Jazz and the Western music tradition as well as by non-european classical music and folklore. Despite the variety of the material, the band manages to create a coherent sound and captures the rambunctious energy of the vital Berlin Jazz Szene which it projects with a vibe that has humor and sincerity, freshness and intensity.
