The work of Fred Hersch, the great American jazz pianist, is masterly but not
fashionable – he stays close to the tradition and loves lyrical
songs. Nevertheless, the poise and sheen of his work always marks him out. This
set, from his regular trio featuring bassist John Hébert and drummer Eric
McPherson, comprises seven originals, two standards and Thelonious Monk's Let's
Cool One. An account of You and the Night and the Music is a breathtaking piece
of uptempo contrapuntalism, his left hand striking out on an imperiously
different melodic path to the classic theme on the right, while McPherson's
airy rimshots snap. The title track is a poignant ballad caressed by a soft
countermelody; West Virginia Rose (for Hersch's mother) is a country melody
with faintly Jarrett-like resolutions; Home Fries is a catchy groover with a
dazzling improv run, and the Chick Corea-like Arcata (for Esperanza Spalding)
is a feature for Hébert's nimble precision. Hersch's interpretation of Let's
Cool One, which closes the set, lends Monk's wayward music something engagingly
close to daintiness.
