Dana. Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Worth seeing live? He's playing the Village Vanguard in January with Paul Motian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Davis Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Absolutely. A few years ago he had a reharm of 'Greensleeves' in his KB magazine column. I bring it out every year and musicians always go nuts over it. Beautiful chords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'd go if I had the chance. I've got many of his cd's and that dvd of he and Toots,A. Nussbaum, and H. Schwartz.Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Yeah, Fred is a strong, intelligent player, if a bit of an introverted personality. Worth hearing, and Paul Motian is worth the price of admission alone. CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidolem Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 A very deep player. Dangerous ears.

jarrell Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I've heard him live once, and he is a great player, definitely worth seeing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonksDream Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Run, don't walk, to the ticket booth! I saw him last summer and he was excellent! Instrumentation is meaningless - a song either stands on its own merit, or it requires bells and whistles to cover its lack of adequacy, much less quality. - kanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpel Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 He's great. I love the Leaves of Grass concept album. Didn't think I would. Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana. Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Cool, I'll check him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reidmc Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Fred Hersch is a wonderful player. Note that Cedar Walton is at the Vanguard this week. Solid mainstream jazz composer and an underrated player. True pleasure to listen to him. "The Doomer allows the player to do things beyond which are possible without the accessory."
