Dale Fielder Quartet at Alvas Showroom

The DFQ is led by Fielder and ex-Charles Mingus Workshop pianist Jane Getz. It is obvious that Fielder and Getz are both dedicated children of the bebop era. They sound and play with a love, reverence, and authenticity that is striking. The entire band, including bassist Bill Markus and drummer Thomas White, play with an easy swing and a full, “classic” sound that draws the listener in.
