"In Brent Fischer's capable hands, it seems the music of Clare Fischer will live on for years to come, in a big band paradigm or some other framework. And that's a good thing for musicians and listeners alike. Pacific Jazz (the album) exudes a charm that ensnares both heart and mind."
--Jack Bowers (All About Jazz)

About Clare Fischer

Grammy®-winning American composer, arranger and pianist Dr. Clare Fischer (October 22, 1928 – January 26, 2012) has secured an honorable place in music history. He worked with jazz legends such as Donald Byrd and Dizzy Gillespie before becoming the go-to-guy for arranging pop albums from the 80s . Fischer became known for his Latin and Bossa nova recordings in the 1960s. He has composed over 100 originals, including the popular Latin jazz and jazz standards 'Morning', and 'Pensativa'. Dr Fischer's influences range from Stravinsky to Ellington to Jobim. Clare Fischer is consistently cited by jazz pianist and composer Herbie Hancock as a major influence. His symphonic works like 'Rhapsody Nova', and 'The Duke', 'Swee'pea and Me', are perfo     rmed by symphony orchestras around the world. A multi-instrumentalist who earned two degrees at Michigan State University, Fischer also received an honorary doctorate from his Alma Mater for his outstanding contributions to the field of jazz. He has also scored music for TV and motion pictures, and with the help of his son, Brent Fischer (continues his father's legacy as writer and arranger), Clare made the leap to popular music, writing charts for Prince, Paul McCartney, Cal Tjader, Rufus and Chaka Khan, and Carlos Santana.
