Clare Fischer • Jazz

 



Biography
by Scott Yanow
Clare Fischer had a varied career as keyboardist, composer, arranger, and bandleader. The composer of two standards, "Pensativa" and "Morning," Fischer long had an interest in Latin rhythms. After graduating from Michigan State University, he moved to Los Angeles in 1957, working as accompanist and arranger for the Hi-Lo's. He wrote for a 1960 Dizzy Gillespie album (A Portrait of Duke Ellington) and recorded bossa nova as early as 1962; that same year he recorded two trio sets and the following year he led his first big band date. Fischer, who alternated between the two formats through the years, recorded in a wide variety of settings from solo piano to heading a vocal-dominated Latin group Salsa Picante. Based in Los Angeles, Fischer (who is also an effective organist and a strong electric keyboardist) recorded extensively through the years for such labels as Pacific Jazz/World Pacific, Revelation, Discovery, MPS, and Concord. In 2003, he produced his first classical CD, After the Rain. Clare Fischer died on January 26, 2012 at a Burbank, California hospital after suffering a heart attack two weeks previously. He was 83 years old.

Biografía
por Scott Yanow
Clare Fischer tuvo una variada carrera como teclista, compositora, arreglista y directora de banda. Compositor de dos estándares, "Pensativa" y "Morning", Fischer se interesó durante mucho tiempo por los ritmos latinos. Tras licenciarse en la Universidad Estatal de Michigan, se trasladó a Los Ángeles en 1957, donde trabajó como acompañante y arreglista para los Hi-Lo. Escribió para un álbum de Dizzy Gillespie de 1960 (A Portrait of Duke Ellington) y grabó bossa nova ya en 1962; ese mismo año grabó dos conjuntos de trío y al año siguiente dirigió su primera cita con una big band. Fischer, que alternó ambos formatos a lo largo de los años, grabó en una amplia variedad de escenarios, desde el piano solo hasta la dirección de un grupo latino dominado por la voz, Salsa Picante. Afincado en Los Ángeles, Fischer (que también es un eficaz organista y un sólido teclista eléctrico) ha grabado mucho a lo largo de los años para sellos como Pacific Jazz/World Pacific, Revelation, Discovery, MPS y Concord. En 2003, produjo su primer CD de música clásica, After the Rain. Clare Fischer falleció el 26 de enero de 2012 en un hospital de Burbank, California, tras sufrir un ataque al corazón dos semanas antes. Tenía 83 años.
