Recorded in December 1989 and released in 1990 on the label Sunnyside, Heartsongs is a strong album in Fred Hersch’s discography, that would only grow stronger in the years that followed. At the age of 35, the American pianist was not yet an internationally renowned master, but his playing and his talent as a composer (he wrote five of the eleven themes) were already grabbing people’s attention. Hersch is joined by the double bassist Michael Formanek and drummer Jeff Hirshfield on this record to mix pieces by George Gershwin (The Man I Love), Wayne Shorter (Fall and Infant Eyes), Thelonious Monk (I Mean You) and Ornette Coleman (The Sphinx). As it is often the case with Hersch, it’s difficult not to mention the very strong influence of Bill Evans. But his piano offers throughout Heartsongs a harmonic personality of its own. A very nice re-release indeed. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
