Fred Hersch Kicks Off Tour at Village Vanguard

  I  

Following the Feb. 21 release of his new solo album Fred Hersch In Amsterdam: Live At The Bimhuis, Fred Hersch will perform a week of solo piano, from Feb. 28—March 5, at the Village Vanguard—the first time in the venue’s 70-year history that a pianist has done so.

These performances will kick off a national tour that will include stops in Easton, Pa.; Ann Arbor, Mich.; Kalamazoo, Mich., and Grand Rapids, Mich., coming to an end at the Regattabar in Boston. Hersch begins the European leg of the tour in May.

Fred Hersch in Amsterdam: Live at the Bimhuis showcases the talents of the solo jazz pianist whose rhythmic vitality has become his trademark.

“I think there is a certain un-self-consciousness about the performances on this disc that is extremely difficult for me (or almost anyone) to achieve in a recording studio,” Hersch said of the recording. “I had one of those magical nights where everything felt right.”
