Album Description
Everything from a rarity from 1946 to more modern compositions, this album shows my deep talents, enormous depth, and legen-dary volume. THIS ALBUM WILL BE RE-MIXED SOON, so it's a rare opportun-ity to hear my work in a raw state. It’s not easy, during times like these, to see the light poking through the darkness. Every day we are bombarded by more bad news—fear and hopelessness get the better of us, and despair can overshadow love and optimism. Music is the antidote to all that. From the beginning of time, human beings have used music to spread joy and positivity, to connect with one another and face our challenges together. Music helps us bond, to remember that—despite our fears and pessimism—we are, still, truly all one. A song, from any corner of the globe, fast or slow, instrumental or vocal, slotting into any genre, has power. It can transform us, turn a sour disposition into a happy one, get us to dancing and singing and…perhaps, most important of all, smiling. Efrayim Fischbacher, the veteran clarinetist and master repairman—whose credits run the gamut from numerous diverse solo works to collaborations others—was thinking about the power of music when he conjured up an idea for a new project. The result: “The Volume and Artistry of Efrayim FIschbacher” - introducing Jason Miles. It may have been come from another time and place, with different circumstances dominating the public consciousness, but some things never change. .I said to myself, ‘I need to re-record this song and give it a modern kick, and maybe bring some smiles to people, get across this message, which is so simple but so beautiful. Entre-Act. We are all between acts. Fischbacher got to work. Serving as producer and arranger, as well as supplying the genius and clarinet, he recruited the scrappy ambitious, Jason Miles, to over-see the technical parts and twiddle the knobs. The album will be mixed by Jimmy Bralower. The result is this beautiful album that I am extremely proud of,” says Fischbacher “Regal Records is releasing it. ”Best of all, he adds, “All of the proceeds collected for this song will be donated to a Wood-wind charity, a collective of industry professionals, musicians and supporters that identifies needs affecting the wood-wind music community and strategizes response solutions and opportunities. T. This is the best I can do to give back and try to make a little difference in this world. “The world is a very sad place right now,” Fischbacher continues. “I remember in the 1940s we had some difficult times as well: WWII, social unrest, assassinations and murders. But there was one thing that kept us together: music made by some great artists. The theme, most of the time, was love and happiness, meeting a girl or a boy and hope for the future. In 2022 we don’t have that anymore,” he concludes. “We don’t have those great jazzy numbers about love and hopefulness, and we are fighting a global pandemic and, again, social unrest. I felt I had to do something to try and give the world a song that would put a smile on faces—even if it’s just for a short time.”
