| Clare Fischer Orchestra album now up for Grammy consideration! Dear friends, It has just come to our attention that the album we released last year, Music for Strings Percussion and the Rest, has been entered for Grammy consideration this year for Best Classical Compendium! That's right, the same album that won earlier this year for Best Instrumental Composition is now up for Best Classical Compendium. We kindly ask that all Recording Academy voting members consider this album again in this new area. If you are not a voting member but in contact with some through your network of friends, we would be highly appreciative of any help you could give spreading the word about this unanticipated development. Thank you for your continuing interest in Fischer music! The Staff at Clavo Records One of our most brilliant musicians. -High Fidelity Magazine Name an area of musical imagination and Clare Fischer's probably been there, from jazz and classical to pop, rock and R&B. Everything the veteran composer/arranger/pianist does blends skillful craftsmanship with musical credibility, but for jazz fans he has done some of his most compelling work for big bands…via a creative partnership with his son, Brent Fischer. -Don Heckman, legendary music journalist Brent Fischer has expanded my musical vocabulary tremendously. He is a fantastic teacher and a uniquely gifted composer and arranger, carrying on the unparalleled work of his father, Clare Fischer. -Keith Horn, Composer/Arranger for film and television Brent Fischer is a musician of the first order. His writing builds on the legacy of his father, the legendary Clare Fischer, and is complex, yet wonderfully accessible. It was a thrill to work with him and Brent is a joy to be with. He is a musician's musician. -Dr. William Meckley, Empire Jazz Orchestra write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Jazz News :: home page |
