Biography
Délia Fischer ranks among Brazil’s most gifted younger jazz artists and has collaborated with Nico Assumpção, Marcos Ariel, Toninho Horta, Nivaldo Ornelas, Robertinho Silva, Pascoal Meirelles, Jane Duboc, and Dom Um Romão. She has also supported such pop figures as Ed Motta and Baby do Brasil. In August 2000 she appeared with J. Meirelles, the one-time leader of Copa 5, during the pianist’s return at José Domingos Raffaeli’s sessions held at the Hotel Novo Mundo.
Fischer began formal training in 1977 under Saloméa Gandelmann. Her professional life commenced in 1986 when she formed Duo Fênix alongside Cláudio Dauelsberg. The pair toured their instrumental and jazz repertoire across Brazil and performed at New Morning in Paris, Brottfabrik in Germany, and the Montreux and Sofia festivals. They issued the recordings Duo Fênix and Karai-Ete. Following the duo’s breakup in 1990, Fischer pursued an independent path that included teaching and extensive sideman work on stage and in the studio. In 1999 she released Antonio, which featured Romero Lubambo, Nico Assumpção, and Nivaldo Ornelas. The album later appeared in both the United States and Europe.
