Fred Hersch beginnings,
By
This review is from: Horizons (Audio CD)
This is Fred Hersch's first recording as a leader. His style is not yet completely defined, yet all his talent is here, along with some of his later fixations, like Wayne Shorter's tune Miyako. This last tune is one of the best tracks, performed in a very "herschy" way, the first in a long line of beautiful versions by the Fred Hersch trio + eventual guests. My least favorite track is One Finger Snap: maybe the tempo is too fast and he ends up playing too many licks. The performances of Marc Johnson and Joey Baron are also great. Definitively recommended, whether you're a fan of Fred Hersch or not.

Underrated Jazz Pianist,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Horizons (Audio CD)
"Horizons" was released on Concord Records in 1984. It stands as one of his best recordings next to "Fred Hersch Trio Plays" and "Dancing In The Dark," which are two outstanding trio records to pick up in addition with this one. Lyrical, melodic, at times swinging, Fred Hersch never fails to disappoint. He's joined by a killer rhythm section: Marc Johnson on bass and Joey Baron on drums. Very underrated pianist and this album is definitely worth owning. Highly recommended.
