Film screening LET YOURSELF GO – THE LIVES OF FRED HERSCH (Katja Duregger, 2008)
Fred Hersch is considered one of today’s most prominent jazz pianists. His solo CD, Live at the Bimhuis, released a few years back, got rave reviews in the international press. ‘Live at the Bimhuis offers a comprehensive portrait of Mr. Hersch’s strengths as a pianist; the supple touch 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).
