Clare Fischer's may not be a household name, but to the cognoscenti it rings loud and true. He has been working in the L.A. music industry since the late '50s, as a keyboardist, composer, bandleader and arranger, with everyone from Dizzy Gillespie to Prince and Celine Dion. In his freewheeling first session he and his son Brent explain the importance of speaking Spanish before you make Latin music and why the ability to arrange is all about the ear. They also tell us their working methods and reveal why you should never, ever listen to producers.
