Notes

Teamed up in a trio with bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Joey Baron, pianist Fred Hersch is heard on this date exploring the modern mainstream of jazz. His thoughtful and exploratory solos on such numbers as Ornette Coleman’s “Enfant,” Jimmy Rowles’ “The Peacocks,” “What Is This Thing Called Love,” “Blue In Green” and three of his own originals (including the title cut) are full of subtle and generally swinging surprises. This CD is a fine example of Fred Hersch’s playing.
