A defining figure in jazz for over three decades, Hersch is renowned as an improviser, composer, educator, bandleader, collaborator, and recording artist. Vanity Fair calls him “the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz,” while The New Yorker hails him as “a living legend.” A seventeen-time Grammy nominee, Hersch has received some of the most prestigious honors in jazz. A deeply responsive and intuitive collaborator, Hersch has shared the stage with a remarkable array of celebrated artists, including Anat Cohen, Bill Frisell, Gilad Hekselman, Julian Lage, Chris Potter, Joe Lovano, Avishai Cohen, Enrico Rava, Kurt Elling, Esperanza Spalding, Kate McGarry, Audra McDonald, Cécile McLorin Salvant, and Renée Fleming. He continues that tradition with Donny McCaslin on Friday and Miguel Zenon on Saturday. An acclaimed solo pianist, Hersch has twelve solo albums in his catalog. All About Jazz states, “When it comes to the art of solo piano in jazz, there are two classes of performers: Fred Hersch and everybody else,” while JazzTimes writes, “Solo Hersch is a complete, self-sufficient, uniquely pure art form.” Hersch will be performing on a Steinway Concert D piano.
