Fred Hersch is an American jazz pianist and composer. A fifteen-time Grammy nominee, Hersch has been proclaimed “the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade” by Vanity Fair and “a living legend” by The New Yorker.
As versatile and exploratory as his trio and duo excursions can be, nowhere is the boundless range and emotional diversity of Hersch’s artistry as evident as in his breathtaking solo performances. He was the first person to play weeklong engagements as a solo pianist at New York’s oldest and most prestigious jazz club Village Vanguard. All About Jazz has remarked that “when it comes to the art of solo piano in jazz, there are two classes of performers: Fred Hersch and everybody else.”
