Surging Ahead is the second album by American composer/arranger/keyboardist Clare Fischer, released in 1963 by Pacific Jazz Records.
The Atlanta Daily World's Albert Anderson received Fischer's sophomore outing much as he had the debut:
The former arranger for the Hi-Lo's, Fischer has worked quietly behind the jazz scenes until recently, when he waxed his first album. It was a big hit for him. Here, Fischer and the trio play the blues the way they ought to be played - with deep feeling. Just dig his version of "Things Ain't What They Used to Be," and you'll get the message. The group's playing on this number really reflects pensiveness. This is the top tune, but the entire fare is delightful. Each of the sidemen contribute substantially to the session. A solid entry for Fischer and Co.
