Fred Hersch: Silent, Listening (Full Length EPK)
Meet Fred Hersch and listen to his insights in his new solo album "Silent, Listening" released on ECM Records.
'Silent, Listening' is a major addition to ECM’s distinguished line of solo piano recordings, featuring one of the outstanding improvising pianists and jazz masters of our time: Fred Hersch. The album features seven original creations and a handful of well-chosen standards, including Billy Strayhorn’s “Star-Crossed Lovers”, Sigmund Romberg’s “Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise”, Alec Wilder’s “Winter Of My Discontent” and Russ Freeman’s “The Wind”, all played with the focus, sensitivity and gracefulness for which Hersch is renowned. Developed with producer Manfred Eicher in the responsive acoustics of the Lugano studio, the album was recorded in May 2023.

A very interesting insight into his way of working and perspective when recording. Thank you!
Manfred Eicher is the greatest music producer of the 20th century.
Wow. Saw Fred play at the Cork Jazz Festival a couple of years back. I've followed his progress for years and nobody with the possible exception of Paul Bley has ever touched my heart the way Fred has. Indescribably beautiful. Thanks for posting.
One of my favourite colorists and stylists, right alongside Jarret for me.
Miss our hang out in Funchal, Oporto and New York, Fred.
The poet, John Keats, coined the term negative capability to describe a space that is totally new to you, but which leaves you with no need to exit it because of the comfort you feel being in it. Others have described this feeling as truth. You were experiencing the truth during the recording of "Silent, Listening". Nicely done.
Thank Irving Berlin for supplying the chords ( "Blue Skies") for "In Walked Bud."
