Career Overview

About Brandon Fields

Conn Selmer’s artist profile traces Fields from early study in California to freelance work and the Los Angeles studio scene. It identifies saxophone as his primary instrument while also documenting flute, clarinet, composition, and a career spanning jazz, pop, R&B, film, and touring projects.[1]

The manufacturer biography and artist-run Bandcamp distinguish Fields’ own leader catalog from his work with singers, touring ensembles, and soundtrack sessions. His solo records move from the 1986 debut The Other Side of the Story through standards, fusion, and later independent releases.[1][2]
