After eight years in NYC, Fielder moved to Los Angeles and studied with alto legend, Charles McPherson and embarked on the challenging path of a bandleader, establishing the Dale Fielder Quartet, the DFQ, with pianist Harold Land, Jr. in 1988. By 1995, the DFQ’s personnel had settled into its current personnel with ex-Mingus pianist Jane Getz, Bill Markus and Thomas White, a unit that has remained intact for 23 years as of 2018. In 1996, Fielder and his DFQ recorded a national top-ten CD, “Dear Sir: Tribute To Wayne Shorter” to widespread critical acclaim. In 1997, Fielder received his first commission and wrote the extended eleven-movement jazz suite, “Ocean Of Love And Mercy”, which was recorded in performance by an all-star Nonet and released by Cadence Jazz Records. Fielder has since performed throughout Europe and Asia with his Quartet. Selected as BET’s 1999 Jazz Discovery winner, Fielder has taped several subsequent video appearances and shows for BET.
