FRED HERSCH SOLO

A concert in the company of a jazz magician! It is no exaggeration to describe Fred Hersch as a giant of jazz. He has influenced a whole generation of musicians and inspired his former students, including Brad Mehldau. A composer and also the leader of a number of groups, Hersch is above all a peerless pianist, as he will demonstrate in this recital, living up to his designation by Vanity Fair as "the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade".
