"If you give this CD a careful and sincere listening, you will be rewarded with some of the most original and challanging music around. Clare Fischer's genious does not appear without repeated listenings. There's just so much going on, that a single run through will not surfice. The CD swings like mad, putting you in a mood to move with the fantastic rhythmic variety and drive. I dare anyone to explain the chordal compositions. The clusters and disonances reflect the wonderful creative spitit of this master. It's one thing to hear instrumental complications, but to hear those same exciting creations sung is a dream come true. Anyone who has attempted to handle the vocal adventures presented by Clare Fischer, will never forget the the challenge and sence of accomplishment they offer. Only the most talented and experenced musician/singers may perform these songs. Make a list of these musician/singers. They are the best in the business. The scales and rhythms would challange any jazz or classical musican. After getting over the techical and theoretical aspects of the CD, put on the headphones and walk to the changing poly-meters, 2 against 3, 3 aganist 2, hemios and rhythmic complications. It's an adventure that will lighten your step and send you merrily on your way. Clare Fischer and Friend's "Rockin' In Rhythm" will change your mind and make you long for the romantic climates of our Latin neighbors."
