Clare Fischer's 1963 vinyl release of Extension is finally available on CD and with audiophile quality sound. Digitally transferred directly from the 3 track master tapes, the sound of the big band ensemble has been magically preserved and captures Clare's brilliant world of tones, textures, colors and shadings. Packaged with the usual regard to detail and quality shown by International Phonograph, Inc., the reissue is destined to be the definitive publication of this seminal recording. It has been printed in limited numbers. The performances are reproduced just as they were in the original session from the master tapes. They consist of 1. Ornithardy 2. Quiet Dawn 3. Bittersweet 4. Igor 5. Extension 6. Soloette 7. Passacaglia 8. Canto Africano.
