Clare Fischer - TDA A A

Review by Adinda Destri

Clare Fischer's album TDA A A is a masterpiece of jazz fusion that showcases the legendary composer and arranger's talent for blending disparate musical styles into a cohesive and exhilarating whole. From the opening track "Morning" with its lush orchestration and soaring melodies, to the funky groove of "Bebop Charlie" and the haunting beauty of "Lament", Fischer's arrangements are both complex and accessible, drawing on a wide range of influences from classical to Latin to R&B. The album features a stellar cast of musicians, including saxophonist Gary Foster, trumpeter Bobby Shew, and drummer Alex Acuña, who are all given ample room to showcase their virtuosity. Fischer's own piano playing is also a standout, with his deft touch and inventive harmonies adding depth and nuance to each track. TDA A A is a must-listen for any fan of jazz or music in general, and a testament to Clare Fischer's enduring legacy as one of the most innovative and influential composers of his generation.
