"Blue World":Saxophone Standards Vol. 4 Available @ Clarion Jazz

Dale Fielder Quartet

"BLUE WORLD"

“Blue World”, Saxophone Standards Vol. 4, is the fourth entry in Dale Fielder’s Saxophone Standards series, where the focal point is on the exploration of the American jazz standards tradition. On January 8, 2025, Dale Fielder lost his home and possessions in the Eaton wildfire that devastated the foothill community of Altadena, CA. “Blue World” is a direct response to Fielder’s devastating loss.

I'm offically endorsing Chateau Saxophones Taiwan

Dale Fielder plays Chateau VCH 80 Alto Saxophone

I am officially an endorsee and clinician for Chateau Saxophones Taiwan!  This horn checked all the boxes I was looking for! From the very first blow, I was AMAZED! I was completely blown away! From the bottom Bb note to the very top high F#, every note came out clear, even, warm, and FOCUSED. In accessing the ergonomics of the horn, it felt to me exactly like a Selmer Series II! With this horn, now I could totally concentrate on the music I was making in the moment without any distraction coming from the limitation of the horn. This horn just sings!

"MOOD!"

Saxophone Standards Vol. 3

“Mood!” is the sister album to the previous release “Nocturne Serenity”, released August 2023 for saxophonist/composer Dale Fielder and his Quartet featuring pianist Jane Getz.  It was recorded 4 months later.  Like “Nocturne Serenity,” the recording is also subtitled “Saxophone Standards Volume 3,” and both albums are follow-ups to 2013’s eponymously titled first album, “Saxophone Standards Volume 1.”   All 3 recordings are parts of Fielder’s ongoing life-long project of exploring the American jazz standard tradition. 

AVAILABLE NOW @ CLARION JAZZ! [click]

New CD Released Aug 1, 2023 . . . !

"NOCTURNE SERENITY"

Saxophone Standards Vol. 2

“Nocturne Serenity” is a welcome return for saxophonist/composer Dale Fielder and his Quartet featuring pianist Jane Getz.  It is their first recording since 2019’s “Consensus.”  The recording is also subtitled “Saxophone Standards Volume 2,” a follow-up to 2013’s “Saxophone Standards Volume 1,” Fielder’s ongoing life-long project of exploring the American jazz standard tradition.  Since 2002, Fielder has primarily played the baritone saxophone.  Even though he is photographed on the cover holding a baritone sax, he plays no baritone sax on this recording. Here he plays a strong, impassioned tenor sax on four of the seven tunes; soprano and alto on the remaining three tunes. On this CD, Fielder’s intent was to showcase the other members of his quartet that have remained intact now for 28 years.  Featured are ex-Mingus pianist Jane Getz front and center along with generous space given to the other members of the quartet, bassist Bill Markus and drummer Thomas White.
