'Whirl', The New Album From Grammy-Nominated Pianist Fred Hersch Is A 10-Song Collection and his
first recording since emerging from a devastating coma.
"Hersch's music – luxurious, free-flowing, unashamedly gorgeous jazz – is idiosyncratically,
unmistakably a creation of his own," David Hajdu wrote in a recent, riveting New York Times magazine
profile on Hersch's music and life. The piece detailed Hersch's recovery from a harrowing, near-death
health battle and placed him in the forefront of contemporary, innovative jazz artists and chronicles
his influence on many of today's brightest young musicians. 'Whirl' is Hersch's first recording since
undergoing intense physical therapy and achieving full recuperation.
Hersch is widely considered a genius on the piano. His list of credits as a band leader, co-leader,
sideman and soloist are astounding. He has worked extensively with jazz masters Stan Getz, Joe
Henderson, and Jane Ira Bloom, Art Farmer, Toots Thielemans, Gary Burton, Bill Frisell, Sam Jones and
Charlie Haden and has appeared on over 100 recordings. He is also a three-time Grammy© nominee.
"...a wonderful example of his Midas touch on the piano. Few whose fingers grace the 88s can even come close to getting the sound that Hersch charms out of a piano."
Dan Bilawsky, AllAboutJazz
