Fred Hersch embarks on a rare UK tour this autumn. Renowned for his solo performances, Hersch is one of the most highly praised and prolific pianists of his generation with a sound that is unmistakeably his own. The tour sees him revive time-tested jazz standards and pieces from the great American songbook with extraordinary technique, as well as combining quirky ideas with piano perfection in his own lyrical compositions. From the 1970’s onwards, Hersch has worked with notable jazz instrumentalists and vocalists such as Art Farmer, Stan Getz and Norma Winstone.
