"The most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade" according to Vanity Fair, Fred Hersch has made San Francisco Performances his second home for over 20 years. For this concert he returns to the trio format for SFP for the first time since 1996. The Trio's recent recording Floating was nominated for two 2014 Grammy Awards and was dubbed, "an extravagantly beautiful new album" by The New York Times.
Philanthropist, professor, keynote speaker, and jazz pianist Fred Hersch has nearly done it all as an internationally recognized innovative, individual musician. In 2014, Hersch garnered his sixth Grammy nomination for his solo on Duet from Free Flying, a duo album with guitarist Julian Lage that received a rare 5-Star rating from Downbeat. Hersch has collaborated with an astonishing range of instrumentalists and vocalists throughout worlds of jazz (Joe Henderson, Charlie Haden, Art Farmer, Stan Getz, Bill Frisell) classical (Renee Fleming, Dawn Upshaw, Christopher O'Riley) and Broadway (Audra McDonald). Described by his students as, "perfection," Hersch has taught many young artists at the Julliard School, The New School, Manhattan School of Music, and the New England Conservatory. At the same time, Hersch has spoken and performed at fundraisers for AIDS education foundations and raised over $250,000 in total.
Missing Fred Hersch in performance is a big mistake for jazz and classical music enthusiasts alike.
