„Fred Hersch Trio“ Live At Bimhuis 17.05.2017.
‘Hersch’s music – luxurious, free-flowing, unashamedly gorgeous jazz – is idiosyncratically, unmistakably a creation of his own’ (New York Times).
‘There’s nothing wrong with beauty’, says Fred Hersch, one of the most prominent jazz pianists today. Thanks to famous former students such as Brad Mehldau and Ethan Iverson (The Bad Plus) he has inspired a whole generation of pianists. Ever since the 1970s, when he started in New York in the bands of Lee Konitz and Art Farmer, he has strived for absolute beauty.
