Carl Fischer soloing on stage with pop legend Billy Joel on “Big Man on Mulberry St”

Welcome Billy Joel fans!  As you know, Carl Fischer has been a member of the Billy Joel band for 8 years running.  Carl not only plays Trumpet and Flugelhorn, but also gets the opportunity to incorporate Trombone and various Saxophones in to each Billy Joel show.

While a member of the Billy Joel band, Carl has recorded and released his 3rd studio CD entitled “Adverse Times” which features original music from Carl, as well as two original arrangements of the Billy Joel songs “Downeaster Alexa” and “Elegy for the Fisherman” which can be purchased here.

Billy had this to say about the album:

“Carl is a gifted musician and someone I have had the pleasure of performing with over the past eight years.  With the release of Adverse Times, Carl firms his place in a lineage of truly great trumpet players.  From pop to hard-driving funk, from world flavors to inspired renditions of some of my own compositions, the album will appeal to a wide range of listeners and definitely should not be missed!”
