Description

"In the quest to describe the music of Fred Hersch in a word," writes the New York Times, "you could do a lot worse than 'refinement.' Mr. Hersch, 56, is a pianist of cultivated taste and erudition; he's also the sort of jazz musician who brings a lissome elegance to his playing, disinclined to accentuate the effort behind it all. But there's another definition of refinement that has to do with painstaking progress, the incremental stretch toward an elusive ideal." Nominated for two Grammys, this most recent outing of Hersch's brilliant trio includes the standards "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise" and "I Fall in Love Too Easily" as well as Sonny Rollins' "Doxy" and nods to Paul Motian and Ornette Coleman. "One of the small handful of brilliant musicians of his generation."—Down Beat
