| Bluefield | |
The project Bluefield reflects the Song-writing and Production of guitarist Jonathan Dodd. The album "See" is the first in a series of releases to come embracing the complexities of human feeling and relationships, in a busy and often careless society. The album "See" gathers some of the most talented players around today and focuses on contemporary "rhythm and groove" with vocal contributions from some very special people. Jonathan spent seven years living in N.E.Brazil and found the rich tapestry of musical culture to be a huge influence, this is reflected in much of the material on this album which recounts the ups and downs of close relationships in our hectic world today. Since returning to the UK and frequent return trips to Brazil, he spent the last few years building the Bluefield Studio in London and bringing those influences to bear on his own work and many Production projects for others.
