DJ Polished Solid - Soul, Funk, Jazz, R&B, strings - Radio Show

(October 22, 1928 – January 26, 2012)


This mix will feature Clare Fischer's musical contributions as a strings / orchestral arranger, most notably his collaborations with Prince and related projects. However, as you most likely already know, 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/Debarge.
