Jim Fielder
Jim Fielder (born October 4, 1947 in Denton, Texas) is an American bassist, best known for his work as an original member of Blood, Sweat & Tears.[1] Prior to BS&T, he was rhythm guitarist for Frank Zappa's band The Mothers of Invention.
Fielder attended Loara High School in Anaheim, California. While at Loara, the young Fielder befriended classmates Tim Buckley and Larry Beckett, a relationship that would launch Fielder into the music industry.[2] As well as the Mothers, Fielder's pre-BS&T career included work with Buckley, and several other notable bands including Mastin & Brewer, with Mike Brewer and Billy Mundi, and Buffalo Springfield.
Since he departed from BS&T, Fielder has worked extensively in the music industry both studio and live performances, and for 40+ years was a standing member of Neil Sedaka's band.
