Described as 'an elegant force of musical invention' by LA Times, the great jazz pianist Fred Hersch makes his Wigmore Hall debut. Fellow leading light of the jazz world Jason Moran once said of the 15-time Grammy nominee, 'Fred at the piano is like LeBron James on the basketball court. He’s perfection.' A select member of jazz’s piano pantheon, Fred Hersch is a pervasively influential creative force who has shaped the music’s course over more than three decades as an improviser, composer, educator, bandleader, collaborator and recording artist. He has been proclaimed 'the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade' by Vanity Fair, and 'a living legend' by The New Yorker.
