Fields - 2x GRAMMY® nominee

Nominated for the 2021 GRAMMY® Award in categories Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance and Best Engineered Album, Classical.

Grammy Award-winning, Chicago-based percussion quartet Third Coast Percussion teams up with influential, genre-defying multi-instrumentalist, record producer, songwriter, singer, and composer Devonté Hynes (aka Blood Orange) for an album of imaginative, evocative instrumental music originally created as the live soundtrack for choreography by the adventurous Hubbard Street Dance Chicago company.

Although he is now known primarily as a singer, songwriter, and producer in the pop music world, classical music was the first music Devonté Hynes knew. The three works on this album, all world-premiere recordings, represent Hynes’s debut on disc as a classical composer. Hynes says of Fields: “It’s the first time I’ve written music that I’ve never played, and I love that. It’s something I’ve always been striving to get to. Seeing what Third Coast Percussion had done with these pieces was magical.”
