With this third album for ECM, Fred Hersch makes an essential contribution to the art of the piano/bass/drums trio. Accompanied by Drew Gress on double bass and Joey Baron on drums, the pianist tackles a handful of 20th-century compositions – standards but also some more confidential jazz themes by Ornette Coleman, Egberto Gismonti, Charlie Haden, and the Gershwin brothers – as well as three original pieces that are striking for their lyrical intensity.
