Fred Hersch Trio — Plays
Part of the Chesky Original Masters Series
One-Step plating and pressing on 180-gram high-definition vinyl
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 180-gram One Step Pressing Vinyl LP.
One-Step vinyl is the ultimate vinyl pressing, meaning the vinyl is pressed from the stamper made directly from the lacquer, minimizing noises and loss of details.
