About the Artist

Praised as “a living legend,” 15-time Grammy Award nominee Fred Hersch commands “an intensity of intelligence and emotional directness unparalleled among his peers” (The New Yorker).”

Fred Hersch “stands among jazz’s first rank of pianists, yet promotes no particular style. He plays it his way: with a light touch and a focus on melody one moment; swinging freely the next as he inverts harmonies or deconstructs forms; tender, then tough, then yet more tender, always shaping the sound of his piano or his band into something personal” (The Wall Street Journal).

“One of the most sensitive and genuinely lyrical players in jazz” (The Atlantic Monthly), Fred Hersch is “a pristine pianist with a poet’s soul – a pair of qualities that combine to especially dazzling effect” (The Boston Globe).
