I have just seen this on Facebook on guitarist Steve Khan's page:
"It is with a very heavy heart that I have to mark the passing of pianist, composer, arranger, the great Clare Fischer. His unique style, his harmonic concepts, his beautiful melodies cast such a profound shadow over so much of what I have been trying to do - and even then, I'm only the most humble of students. Clare, his beloved wife, Donna and his dear son Brent were always so kind to me, and I have never undervalued the gift of his friendship and support."
That's very sad. An incredible player and I have some of his solo albums which is some of the best solo piano I've heard.
Another great gone. Sad times.
