BIO - Yellow Fields is an album by German double bassist and composer Eberhard Weber recorded in 1975 and released on the ECM label.

  Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded it the maximum four stars and placed it in their Core Collection, writing "Weber's masterpiece is essentially a period piece which nevertheless still seems modern. The sound of it is almost absurdly opulent: bass passages and swimming keyboard textures that reverberate from the speakers, chords that seem to hum with huge overtones. The keyboard textures in particular are of a kind that will probably never be heard on record again.

Described by The Wire magazine as a "masterpiece", Yellow Fields, recorded in 1975, introduced the first edition of Eberhard Weber's Colours, "one of the most important and influential groups of its time", according to Ian Carr in Jazz, The Essential Companion. Impressionistic in intent, Weber's music emphasized mood and atmosphere above the dexterity of the players, or as he put it to Impetus magazine, "I'm more interested in team-work and the total sound, rather than the individual sounds." He was also at pains, in this period, to emphasize his distance from the jazz tradition, preferring to feature Charlie Mariano (whose credits include work with Mingus, McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones) on soprano – "the horn that has the least specific 'jazz' associations" – and the Indian nagswaram and shenai, rather than on his more habitual alto sax.
