Fred Hersch: After You've Gone
by Geno Thackara
Amongst the trademark ballads and Thelonious Monk tunes, it's sometimes easy to miss what a mood-lifter it can be when Fred Hersch dashes off a little jaunty stride playing. Also in classic style, this selection sounds way more cheerful than the words would suggest--but in these hands (and especially without the words), it works just fine. ...
Nicolas Politzer: Visiones
by Mike Jurkovic
At first encounter, as the Cecil Taylor infused “Fandango" kick-starts Argentinian drummer Nicolas Politzer's highly recommended Visiones, a keen perception of falling, or at least cliff-side vertigo, accompanies the rancorous performance. But do not let go. Hang on. There is resolution. Politzer's angular musicality makes for some fiery and spirited discussions with well-travelled bassist ...

Songbirds: An Interview with Singer Judy Niemack
by Peter Rubie
Apart from their mutual respect for each other, and the fact that they are jazz singers, there isn't a lot, superficially, that you would think Judy Niemack and Jay Clayton have in common.

Fred Hersch: Alive... And Kicking
by Jiaowei Hu
Few musicians have shaped jazz with such elegant, instinctive, and intimate variations as Fred Hersch. Constantly.

No word other than “alive" can be more suitable for the pianist, and it is no coincidence that he chose ...

Most young musicians start by absorbing the work of important influences and then, through practice and live performance, decide what to keep, what to modify and what to discard.
