Fred Hersch Concert
Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 7:30 PM
Pianist and composer Fred Hersch has been called “one of the small handful of brilliant musicians of his generation” by “Downbeat” and has earned a place among the foremost jazz artists in the world today. From the late ’70s onward he was a sideman to jazz legends including Joe Henderson, Art Farmer and Stan Getz. Fred has solidified a reputation as a versatile master of jazz piano, as well as a relentlessly probing composer and conceptualist.
Hersch is widely recognized for his ability to steadfastly create a unique body of original works while reinventing the standard jazz repertoire – investing time-tested classics with keen insight, fresh ideas and extraordinary technique. Whether unaccompanied, in duo, working with trios and quintets, Hersch has explored the jazz tradition to its fullest even as he opens new and undiscovered doors.
