 New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Fred Hersch's new Fred Hersch Trio record 'Whirl' (Palmetto Records, June 22) is the focus of the brilliant NPR "All Things Considered" segment that aired on release date. Hersch and host Robert Siegel discuss the evolution of Hersch's magnificent career, almost cut short by a nearly fatal coma caused by the AIDS virus. 'Whirl' is the beginning of a triumphant comeback for Hersch. NPR calls the outstanding record "unflinching...it demonstrates that his musical gifts were merely interrupted...with 'Whirl,' Hersch can build on his firmly established style and versatility." Listen to the compelling interview here: https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128005221 Vanity Fair calls Hersch "the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade or so. And his new, comeback album, 'Whirl,' is a testament to Hersch's deep reserves of talent and resolve." More details on Fred Hersch: https://www.fredhersch.com https://www.palmetto-records.com
