BIO:
A select member of jazz’s piano pantheon, Fred Hersch is a pervasively influential creative force who has shaped the music’s course over more than three decades as an improviser, composer, educator, bandleader, collaborator and recording artist.
With some fifty albums to his credit as a leader or co-leader, he’s a 15-time Grammy Award nominee who continues to earn jazz’s most prestigious awards, including distinctions as a 2016 Doris Duke Artist and being named Jazz Pianist of the Year three times from the Jazz Journalists Association.
Proclaimed “a living legend” by The New Yorker, Hersch has long defined jazz’s creative edge in a wide variety of settings, from his breathtaking solo recitals and exploratory duos to his extraordinary trios and innovative chamber settings. He has had duo partnerships with such diverse artists as vocalists Renee Fleming and Norma Winstone; clarinetist Anat Cohen; saxophonist Miguel Zenon guitarists Bill Frisell and Julian Lage and trumpeter Avishai Cohen; As a composer, he is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship– and his recent releases Breath By Breath with trio and the Crosby Street String Quartet; Live In Europe with his celebrated trio, the 2020 solo disc Songs From Home; and The Song Is You with trumpet legend Enrico Rava are definitive statements.
