Kansas Fields

January 01, 1970

Carl Donnell "Kansas" Fields (December 5, 1915, Chapman, Kansas – March 7, 1995, Chicago, Illinois)[1] was an American jazz drummer.

Fields played in Chicago from the late 1920s, and worked with King Kolax and Jimmie Noone in the 1930s.[2] In 1940, he joined Roy Eldridge's group for a year; he returned to play with Eldridge again later in the 1940s.[2] He briefly led his own ensemble and played with Ella Fitzgerald and Benny Carter before joining the Marines during World War II.[2] After the war, he played with Cab Calloway, Claude Hopkins, Sidney Bechet, Dizzy Gillespie (recording with Gillespie in 1951), and Eldridge again before the close of the decade.[2]

He led another group of his own early in the 1950s, then played with Mezz Mezzrow in Europe in 1953.[2] Fields stayed in Europe for more than a decade; he relocated to France and worked as a sideman. In 1965, he returned to Chicago, working once more with Gillespie and doing studio work.
