Fred Hersch Trio + 2

Pianist Fred Hersch leads his refined trio with a guest horn player for a six‑night engagement that balances lyrical elegance with subtle harmonic daring. Accompanying him are saxophonist Tony Malaby, trumpeter Ralph Alessi, bassist Drew Gress, and drummer Joe Dyson, each contributing a distinct tonal color to Hersch’s compositions and standards. The Vanguard’s low‑light, acoustically perfect space amplifies the trio’s nuanced interplay, making every note feel intimate. This series is a must‑see for listeners who appreciate sophisticated, introspective modern jazz.
