With a silken piano touch
and a seemingly limitless
palate of improvisational
interplay, Fred Hersch delights on his latest
release. Featuring a melodious mixture of standards
including a metrically-modulated romp
through “You’re My Everything,” plus originals
such as the affecting “Snow Is Falling,” Hersch
proves once again that his singular, supple
piano sound is a force to be reckoned with.
He’s a modern musical master at the peak of
his creative powers. (Palmetto, fredhersch.com)
