This year’s annual tribute concert pays homage to Clare Fischer one year after he passed away at the age of 83. The Grammy winning American composer, arranger and pianist has secured an honorable place in jazz, pop and R&B history. His influences ranged from Stravinsky to Ellington to Jobim. Fischer made the leap to popular music, writing charts for Prince, Paul McCartney, Poncho Sanchez, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Brandy, Raphael Saadiq and Carlos Santana.
