"Under the Radar" Fred Hersch Solo Piano

Presented by the Jazz Bakery Movable Feast Series

Described by Vanity Fair magazine as “the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade or so,” 8-time Grammy nominee Fred Hersch balances his internationally recognized instrumental skills with significant achievements as a composer, bandleader, and theatrical conceptualist. Hersch was the first artist in the 75-year history of New York's legendary Village Vanguard to play a week-long engagement as a solo pianist. Major awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship in Composition, as well as being voted 2011 “Jazz Pianist of the Year,” by the Jazz Journalists Association. This is a rare chance to see one of the great voices of jazz play solo in the intimate Edye theater.
