Description

Brent Fischer was immersed in music since birth, taking up many instruments from age 5.
"In a sense, music is really my first language. That's why working behind the scenes with artists like Paul McCartney, Robert Palmer, Brandi, George Duke, Joao Gilberto And Carlos Santana has come so naturally to me," says Brent.

Grammy®-winning producer, composer, arranger Brent Fischer credits his legendary father, Dr Clare Fischer, for creating a rich harmonic and orchestrational palette that has become the Fischer brand. A BMI artist, Brent Fischer's modern arrangement of the classic Pictures At an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky has delighted audiences worldwide (recorded by European Hr Big Band) and creates a new big band aesthetic for orchestral music with stunning results.

A multi-instrumentalist (bass, vibes, keys, drums), Brent moves easily between Jazz, R&B, Pop or Symphonic works. His arranging credits appear on over 30 million albums to include: Usher, Michael Jackson, Raphael Saadiq, Prince, Al Jarreau, Toni Braxton, Dianne Reeves, Elvis Costello & The Roots, D'Angelo. "When artists give me a simple G Major Triad, I like to wrap it in a velvety timeless orchestral beauty," says Fischer.

In 2016 Brent arranged and orchestrated the Grammy® Record of The Year for D'Angelo's "Really Love" from his album "Black Messiah" where Brent is also listed as one of the producers.

Brent Fischer has produced the last eight Clare Fischer albums, including: The latest Clare Fischer Latin Jazz Big Band release ‘¡Intenso!’ featuring: Sheila E. and Roberta Gambarini. Grammy®-winning '¡Ritmo!' (2012 Best Latin Jazz Album feat Poncho Sanchez and Alex Acuña), Grammy®-winning ‘Music for Strings, Percussion and the Rest’ (2013 Best Instrumental Composition) and Grammy®-nominated 2011 release ‘Continuum.'
Brent arranged and penned Rainforest, inspired by nature and Latin rhythms on ¡Ritmo! "It blends our worldwide music influences with the highly idiomatic aspects of Latin rhythms and uses sonic colors to continue awareness of the rainforests that replenish our world in countless ways," says Brent, who plays electric basses, vibraphone, marimba, and keyboards on the CD.
2018 sees the release of Colours of Sound - A new collaboration between Melbourne-based pianist Simon Pilbrow and Brent Fischer.

Mr Fischer has a Degree In Symphonic Percussion from California State University, Northridge and offers clinics and/or master classes.
