FRED HERSCH TRIO
Fred Hersch, piano, John Hébert bass, Eric McPherson drums
He’s the best pianist of the year according to the Jazz Journalists Association. It’s an important recognition for Fred Hersch who, with the help of famous former students such as Brad Mehldau and Ethan Iverson (The Bad Plus) has inspired a whole generation of pianists. ‘Hersch’s music – luxurious, free-flowing, unashamedly gorgeous jazz – is idiosyncratically, unmistakably a creation of his own’ (New York Times).
