Simply fantastic, a master who has his own style and is very much into real improvisation. There is so much invention here, and his touch is sublime.

GREAT!! Hersch makes a complete piano "sonata" of this Monk tune (based on the old song Blue Skies). Hersch makes the piece his own, but with great respect for Thelonious Monk.

I heard Fred play the most amazing solo piano version of Caravan at a La Jolla, CA concert. Endless Stars is a favorite composition from his songbook. Amazing pianist.

Bill Evans told Marian McPartland that he admired solo pianists most but lacked the facilities to join them (debatable). I know what he meant. Not many can play the 4/4 walking bass part independent of the demands on the right hand. To his credit, Fred accomplishes it for a couple of choruses. But the master was the late Dave McKenna.

I've loved classical music all my long life--and jazz. Dave Brubeck was my first hero. I had a long appreciation of Bill Evans It was a long time 'till I heard another true original, Dave McKenna. Then, in walked Fred: mind boggling rhythmic invention and gorgeous lyricism. This one, The Song is You, Haunted Heart, the work with the Art Farmer Quartet, and all the rest of him--he's a genius.

With all due respect to this guy.. Flattening out monk w all his accents and syncopation surprises !! well why would you play this if you gonna miss everything that makes it interesting this is Like smooth jazz the opposite of what it should be.. why listen to this when I can listen to monk ..for me. only monk should can play monk cuz his style his geni us..is that U nique and quirky ..it ain't just the pretty notes..its something else again . Play this at home..not for public..u make a fool out of you self.. And make me naw she us at same time I don't like it when monk's music make me nauseous I like him too much so please lay off the shit.. it's not for you pal...stick w beatles if u cant bop the jazz

Because he's he's only playing a monk song. So that is Fred Hersch playing Fred Hersch using a monk song as a vehicle. Besides what's the big deal? So Fred Hersch is not your thing. Okay. I bet you wouldn't say the same thing about Benny Green when he plays Monk

Robert Bloom, I'd bet that Monk would have dug Hersch's uniquely inventive interpretation of his own reinvention of Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies".
