- Product Details
Described by Hersch as “a no-gimmicks album to showcase my working band,” 1994’s The Fred Hersch Trio Plays was his third album for Chesky Records and the pianist’s follow-up to his Grammy-nominated 1992 album Dancing In The Dark. With simpatico support from double bassist Drew Gress and drummer Tom Rainey, Hersch presented fresh interpretations of tunes by his favorite jazz composers, which included Miles Davis (‘Milestones’), Wayne Shorter (‘Iris’), Thelonious Monk (‘Think Of One’ and ‘Played Twice’), Dizzy Gillespie (‘Con Alma’), Herbie Hancock ('Speak Like A Child'), and John Coltrane (‘Moment’s Notice’). The album also includes an original number, ‘Evanessence,’ which Hersch composed as a salute to pianist Bill Evans. The Fred Hersch Trio Plays is a remarkable collection of performances affirming that jazz is about exploration, constant reinvention, and selfless teamwork. The album is reissued on 180g One Step Pressing Vinyl LP and will be released on 3rd October 2025.

Occupying a unique space where folk, rock, pop, country, and jazz elements intermingle, Kenny Rankin (1940-2009) - whose golden voice was once described by jazz saxophonist Stan Getz as “a horn with a heartbeat” - was a genre-blurring singer whose soulful sound defied categorization. Impeccably produced by David Chesky, the b...
