A Milestone Live Performance, September 12, 2009
This review is from: Live at Jazz Standard (Audio CD)
The CD "Fred Hersch Pocket Orchestra Live at Jazz Standard" sets a milestone in the artwork of Fred Hersch. The live-performance is very energetic, intensive, diversified, and in a way eventful. The instrumentaion, which is characterized by the missing "bass" is unusual, but original, and - for my view - the listener does not miss this "standard-instrumentation". The solos perfectly fit together, and especially the trumpeter Ralph Alessi and singer Jo Lawry make a very good "job", if one could use this word in this context.
According to the fact, that one of the performed pieces is called "Song without words", the whole CD indeed speaks for itself. Live performances with muscic of and performed by Fred Hersch are always a big event.
