All Clare Fischer songs and arrangements are astonishing. Have you analyzed his "Suddenly" ? I'm struggling to learn it by ear. His chords are really incredible... Incredible... 🎉❤❤❤
I love Clare Fischer's work. Many times there would be a song I would hear and think "man those chords and orchestration are amazing". Then later on I would find out it was him. His work on Robert Palmer's version of "You're My Thrill" kept me up for weeks. And your composition sounded great. I really dig those changes.
Maybe this isn't a helpful way of looking at it, but personally, I see those first three chords all as being different levels of tension over the V7 (G7). You can look at the E minor over F minor as a structure from G mix. b2, then G13 as a less tense colour taken from plain G mix., before upping the tension again with a structure taken from (maybe) G super loc. I doubt he thought of it that way though. Like you said, he wrote this with the movement of each voice in mind.
Your information is very interesting and I'm relatively new to CF. However, don't take this the wrong way but I find the comical interjections to be very distracting and not conducive towards learning.
@@Keith_Horn I am only mentioning it because your videos have great potential and I have become hooked on CF. If I didn't rate your ability I would not have bothered to leave a comment.
@@monsterjazzlicks I appreciate that. Thank you. There is something addictive about his music. Do you have a favorite album of his? I love "The Latin Side" and "A Family Affair". "Pacific Jazz" is also excellent.

Agreed. I have done some analysis on Suddenly - it's extremely rich harmonically. I'll dive back in and fish for some specific chords.
Wow....this is fantastic stuff! Gonna need to watch (and practice) this 10 times till I understands what's happening here. Love Fischer!
Thanks! He's so brilliant.
Studied arranging with Clare through the Dick Grove CAP program back in 1982. Amazing musician.
What a great privilege!

Right? His arrangements are second to none and his original work is on another level.
I can’t find this version of the song anywhere.
It's from the album "Tjaderama".
Thank you!!!
Love your channel Keith, great work! At 1.51 you have transcribed E 's in octaves where the lower note needs to be a C making the C 10 sound.
Thanks! Yep - you're right - good catch.
Care Fisher you say; will take a look, many thanks. The snippet you played of 'Dude...' sounded really good. I wonder what the rest of it was like?
Thanks! Here's the whole song on Spotify if you'd like to hear it open.spotify.com/track/0nxz9lPYknXfo8v0jg4faq?si=b3b788ee65b94ece
6:28 Some of those mistakes sounded good those. Especially at 6:07. Very different vibe even though it's just one note difference.
Thanks! As I'm not a jazz pianist, this one pushes my abilities a bit.

That's a nice way of looking at it. The first chord is almost the whole Gmix b2 scale!
Genial
Gracias!
Thanks a lot!
Thnak you for watching!
Love your Chord of the Week videos. How is the second chord a G13 if there's no F? Looks more like a G69 to me.
Thanks for watching! That's my mistake - I'm playing the F but I notated an E. It should read (from the bottom) G-F-A-B-E-G. Thanks for catching that!
Awesome vid!
Thank you! CF is amazing!
Great video, and I love that deep cut of Superman III :)
Thanks! Glad you caught that.
yeah man! it's a phenomenal composition FILLED with incredible harmony. I own both the lead sheet and the big band chart as recorded by the metropole!
It's a masterpiece, for sure. I realized the other day that the B7/C10 is very similar to the famous Rite of Spring chord Eb7/E major
genius
This piano tone is simply fantastic man ! What instrument is that, please ?
Thanks! It’s the Rhodes from Keyscape
Ermeto Pascual definetely borrowed a few harmonic concepts from Claire
You're probably right about that. Hermeto is amazing!
@@Keith_Horn Yes, Hermeto Pascoal is amazing. I had the luck to play with him, he's a friend of mine. 🎉❤
@@DihelsonMendonca Wow! Lucky man!
You write a E instead a C on your B7/C10...
You're right - I realized it after I uploaded

That's not the first time I've heard that this week. Thanks for the feedback!

@@Keith_Horn I don't know any of these!
@@monsterjazzlicks Happy listening!
