Today I had to post another great mix that comes to us by way of DJ Polished Solid. An incredible tribute to the work of a fantastic musician/composer and arranger that I was introduced to like so many other through his work with Prince. As one of my favorite professors in music school would say “This is muuuu-sic!” and we are very appreciative that DJ Polished Solid put this together and that we can share it with you.
DJ Polished Solid – CLARE FISCHER on Strings (No Turn Unstoned #181) 2012-02-05 by on play.fm
Watch an interview with Brent & Clare Fischer at Red Bull Academy!
DJ Polished Solid states in her show notes:
“This mix will feature Clare Fischer’s musical contributions as a strings / orchestral arranger, most notably his collaborations with Prince and related projects. However, Clare Fischer’s musical output reaches FAR beyond this limited view, as he recorded over 50 jazz / latin jazz albums himself.
However, his arrangements for Prince were my introduction to Clare and his genius, and, through this mix, I want to give reverence to how Clare’s significant contributions really transformed Prince’s (and others) music into something even more transcendent and heavenly.]
I tried to keep all the songs for this mix at most two degrees of separation from Prince with the notable exception of Switch/The Debarge.”
Polished Solid hosts a weekly show live every Sunday from 4pm-6pm EST at http://mixlr.com/djpolishedsolid. Make sure to keep your ears open for mixes
