About Fred Hersch Trio + 2
Fred Hersch Trio + 2 (US)
The pianist Fred Hersch grew up with the music of Beethoven and
Mozart, but was much more attracted by the world of jazz. 'I really
liked hanging around in jazz clubs, also because of the social
context. The moment I had discovered jazz, I thought it was the
coolest thing I had ever heard.' Hersch (1955) became sought after
in New York and attended all kinds of sessions. Over the years he
has recorded over twenty CDs and an equal number in tandem with
legends like Stan Getz, Joe Henderson and Art Farmer. For him, his
trilogy Songs without Words of 2001 was a true tour de force. 'The
greatest challenge for me as a pianist was to have enough energy to
give each piece a life of its own.' His most recent album, Live at
Jazz Standard, demonstrates this same ambition. Although Fred
Hersch can be mesmerizing as a soloist, he will be present on the
North Sea Jazz stage with a quintet.
