Multi-Grammy-nominated pianist/composer Fred Hersch and five-time Grammy-winning vocalist/bassist/songwriter esperanza spalding can both be counted among the most acclaimed and inventive artists in modern jazz. Now, the duo is taking the stage to celebrate the release of their album “Alive at the Village Vanguard.” Join 15-time Grammy nominee Hersch (called by The New Yorker “a living legend”) and multiple Grammy award winner spalding (whom NPR cites as “the 21st Century’s first jazz genius”) in an evening of songs from the Great American Songbook, music from Brazil, and jazz compositions - including several penned by Hersch. The remarkable chemistry of their partnership is deep, truly exhilarating, and not to be missed.
Fred Hersch
A select member of jazz’s piano pantheon, Fred Hersch is an influential creative force who has shaped the music’s course over more than three decades. A fifteen-time Grammy nominee, Hersch has long set the standard for expressive interpretation and inventive creativity. A revered improviser, composer, educator, bandleader, collaborator, and recording artist, Hersch has been proclaimed “the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade” by Vanity Fair, “an elegant force of musical invention” by The L.A. Times, and “a living legend” by The New Yorker. For decades Hersch has been firmly entrenched as one of the most acclaimed and captivating pianists in modern jazz, whether through his exquisite solo performances, as the leader of one of jazz’s era-defining trios, or in eloquent dialogue with his deeply attuned duo partners. His brilliant 2017 memoir, Good Things Happen Slowly, was named one of 2017’s Five Best Memoirs by the Washington Post and The New York Times.
esperanza spalding
Five-time Grammy Award-winning visionary esperanza spalding aims to ignite and portray various hues of vital human energies through composition, singing, bass playing, and live performance. Spalding has won Grammy’s for best jazz vocal album for Songwrights Apothecary Lab (2022), 12 Little Spells (2019), and Radio Music Society (2012). A lover of all music, especially improvisation-based music emerging from black American culture, spalding’s musical aesthetic is prismatic. With projects like Radio Music Society, Chamber Music Society, Emily’s D+ Evolution, and 12 Little Spells (which peaked at number one on Billboard's Top Jazz Albums), she has inventively combined and reimagined influences from jazz, funk, rock, musical theater and beyond. She has taught at Berklee College of Music and Harvard University, founded the Songwrights Apothecary Lab, and wrote the opera ...(Iphigenia) in collaboration with Wayne Shorter.
This tune was always playing in my house as a kid, but Oscar Peterson's version, so no lyrics 😂. My mother would definitely have been as offended as Esperanza, lol. Love how they interpreted this tune, musically and lyrically...brilliant musicians!
Definitely I prefer Oscar
Pretty please do a collab with Samara Joy!?
Amazing artists, out of common...love you Fred!
LOL
Fred is brilliant as always. She comes off as a smug hipster. Don’t do the tune if it’s not up to your evolved standards. The mockery isn’t amusing. She’s also not much of a singer.
I'll probably outlive you- "mate"- but wishing death on someone who doesn't share your tastes says everything there is to say about you. And have the courage to post comments using your real name- or crawl back under your rock and stay there.@@polar3849
As they say “ beauty is in the eye of the beholder ‘ . I’m your viewpoint isn’t shared by many. It’s a skit.
If it’s a skit, it’s not funny. And I’ll bet there’s a bunch of people who share my opinion; I just don’t mind expressing mine- even knowing some troll will venture out from under the bridge to condemn it. Not you, sir. But I notice a comment actually wishing me death for said opinion has been removed. Anonymous, of course.
Fred can do anything he wants; his career is exemplary. I think she’s overrated- but she’s young, so who knows? Just my opinion…
@@danoloaneI couldn't disagree more. I think she's a delight. I love her monologues. This one is different from the one on the recording. I think she's a natural and an original, and that she probably improvises some of her stuff. In any case, she's brilliant.
@@danoloaneMy criterion is simple: she's a great entertainer. Gertrude Lawrence, a very different performer, wasn't much of a singer, and I've never been spellbound by her, but millions of people were.
I could do without Ethel Merman, always, but the songwriters loved her and so did audiences.
Esperanza Spalding is what I'd call an "eccentric" singer, as the great Shirley Booth was. I love them both.
I just do not get your indignation about her supposed disrespect for the song. It's from 1966, an extremely different time. Why shouldn't she have fun with the anachronistic - and brilliant - lyrics?
