The French Impressionists
Biography
The French Impressionists were the brainchild of Glaswegian songwriter and pianist Malcolm Fisher, informed by influences as diverse as George Gershwin, Hoagy Carmichael, Oscar Peterson and early Lennon-McCartney. The concept for the band allegedly dawned on Malcolm in a bookshop, while leafing through a volume called "Play Jazz" and spying a section on Claude Debussy and colourful 'impressionist' chords. Initially the band were linked to the hip Postcard Records stable
