Grammy Award nomination – Best Improvised Jazz Solo, 2017 – Whisper Not
Grammy Award nomination – Best Jazz Instrumental Album, 2017
Influential and highly innovative pianist Fred Hersch presents a truly boundary-pushing solo album with Open Book, which sees the musician explore free improvisation, inspired by an experience at a live concert he gave in Seoul in late 2016.
“I have discovered that jazz is not nearly as much about playing what you know, but musically going to those places you have never been before... Through The Forest is an example of improvising with no safety net or preconceived ideas – I just went wherever it took me until it felt right to arrive at a musical and emotional destination.”
- Fred Hersch, pianist
