FRED HERSCH TRIO

Fred Hersch geldt als één van de belangrijkste jazzpianisten van dit moment. De registratie van een solo-concert in het Bimhuis (2003) oogstte superlatieve kritieken. ‘Live at the Bimhuis offers a comprehensive portrait of Mr. Hersch’s strengths as a pianist; the supple toch and clarion tone, the inquisitive sense of harmony and rhythm. It’s almost certainly his finest documented solo performance. Superior in almost all regards, the new album makes the case for Mr. Hersch as an artist at the pinnacle of his prowess.’ (The New York Times). ‘Few jazz pianists have ever struck as beguiling a balance between technique, feeling, insight, and imagination.’ (JazzTimes).
