Fred Hersch Concert Tickets
Escape into the jazz-blues genre with Fred Hersch tickets from TicketSmarter. An innovative, unusually expressive pianist and eloquent composer, Fred Hersch has also made a considerable mark as an educator and as jazz's first openly gay, HIV-positive artist, unafraid to voice his opinions, campaigning passionately and fund-raising for AIDS charities. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1955, his dramatic life was portrayed in his 2017 autobiography 'Good Things Happen Slowly: A Life in and Out of Jazz' and the 2016 feature film 'The Ballad of Fred Hersch'. A child prodigy, he was playing piano by the age of four and composing his own tunes by the time he was eight, and, two years after that, he started winning piano competitions. His fame spread from 1978 when he played with Art Farmer and went on to accompany singer Chris Connor and work in a duo with bass player Ratso Harris.
Praised for the intensity of his playing in various line-ups with numerous musical partners, his reputation as one of the greatest jazz musicians of his generation was further enhanced by the remarkable ambition and fearlessness of his original compositions. Notable works included the chamber piece 'Leaves of Grass', in which he set Walt Whitman's poetry to music, featuring the singers Kurt Elling and Kate McGarry with an instrumental octet, while he has also received great acclaim for the albums 'Alive at The Vanguard', 'Free Flying' with Julian Lage, 'Floating' and 'Sunday Night at The Vanguard'.
His hedonistic lifestyle resulted in severe medical problems and in 2007 he was in a medically induced coma for two months, an experience that produced one of his most groundbreaking creations, the theatrical jazz hybrid 'My Coma Dreams'. The album was adapted in a stage show which tackled the difference between reality and dreams. He has also taught at the New England Conservatory, the Juilliard School and the Manhattan School of Music and has become a major influence on a new generation of jazz musicians. In 2018 he released 'Live in Europe', a live recording of him and the Fred Hersch Trio. Buy Fred Hersch tickets today and get lost in the music.
