about

Fred Hersch, a pianist whose dancing lyricism is matched by his romantic sensibilities and touch, earns high marks for Forward Motion, his debut on Chesky Records. For 73 minutes Hersch and his ensemble (tenor sax, cello, drums, and bass) in various combinations, lose themselves - but not their musical identities - in 14 originals by Hersch. With an expansive range of styles from chamber-like classicism to outright swing, this album is absorbing and entrancing - you must hear Fred Hersch and his Trio.

Seven Men in Neckties: History of the Micros, Volume 1

This group could perfectly catch soul of Manhattan in its different ways. “Seven men in neckties” is a best starter to take a look into magnificent world of Phillip Johnston’s long term collective. zedbit
