TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA – July 27, 2026 — Toronto jazz trumpeter, guitarist, vocalist, and composer Mike Field has released the official music video for "Traffic Police," the latest track from his acclaimed album Nashland. The release arrives just ahead of Field's upcoming hometown concert at Reid's Distillery on Wednesday, August 5.
Nashland features seven original compositions inspired by the timeless feel of classic jazz standards while showcasing Field's melodic writing, energetic improvisation, and dynamic quintet.
Filmed in Toronto's vibrant Canary District, the "Traffic Police" video highlights the neighbourhood's striking public art installations and the recently opened Biidaasige Park, blending modern cityscapes with the high-energy pulse of Field's music. The video was directed and produced by Nick Appleton of Apple Orchard Productions Inc.
"Working with Apple Orchard Productions was a fantastic experience," says Field. "The weather was perfect, the band was on fire, and the Canary District gave us an incredible backdrop for the video. We were excited to showcase one of Toronto's newest and most beautiful neighbourhoods."
The video features Field alongside an outstanding ensemble including Paul Metcalfe (tenor saxophone), Lindsay Clark (piano), Russ Boswell (upright bass), and Jackson Haynes (drums).
