Requisites

First Time Out is the debut album by American composer, arranger and keyboardist Clare Fischer. It was recorded and released in 1962 by Pacific Jazz Records. The session was produced by Richard Bock, the cover was designed and photographed by Woody Woodward.

A recital by a piano trio, led by a man previously known for his arranging and composing, Fischer’s piano is not as interesting as an arranger’s piano is apt to be. It is much more accomplished than that. On this body of work the composer has complete command of the 88, making his playing equal if not surpassing his composing. The trio was comprised of pianist Clare Fischer, bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Gene Stone.

All compositions are by Clare Fischer except for three where noted.

  1. Nigerian Walk (Ed Shaughnessy)
  2. Toddler
  3. Stranger (Gary Peacock)
  4. Afterfact
Side 2
