Clare Fisher was an exceptional musical artist with his unique approach towards harmonic and temporal displays and structures. His book “Harmonic Exercises for Piano” is a brief sketch and testament to his musical prowess as a music educator, pianist, orchestrator, and arranger. I hear the influences of Gil Evans and Antonio Carlos Jobim.

I remember Clare telling me that he often preferred to keep the bass on a solid harmonic foundation - so that it provided a stability to the creative (genius) harmonies above the bass that he was so well known for. Of course you also have the complexity of the latin rhythms added to the unique harmonies that only Clare could come up with.

When studying arranging with Phil Mattson, we attempted to analyze a couple of Clare's charts. Pretty funny debates ensued a couple times. Though Clare was his hero, Phil sometimes really wanted to find traditional harmonic function in a few places where I think maybe Clare intended none lol

It's interesting to hear some Fischer repertoire for which I am familiar with recordings, only with some slightly different personnel (WDR Big Band) and arrangements (no doubt still by Clare Fischer specially for the occasion). I didn't really have the time to spare, but having stumbled across this I couldn't stop watching it until the end!

Whaaat? I've been lamenting for years that of all the magnificent jazz Clare Fischer gave us, there is next to nil video to enjoy! Just stumbled across this - don't know why searches and auto-suggestions didn't bring it up for me before now. This absolutely deserves to be discovered and watched by all the fans of the best vocal jazz groups, latin jazz, and big band jazz. There was never a collaboration as far as I know, between Manhattan Transfer, Chick Corea's group, and one of the world's best big bands - but this is at least as good as if they had! This video proves beyond doubt that we are sorely deprived by not having an abundance of live video of Clare Fischer projects to feast on!! Is there anything more out there languishing in archives that needs to be retrieved and posted?
