Fred Hersh - Piano Solo - Saint-Emilion Jazz Festival 2013 The Song is You Recorded by Grand Angle Productions - les Films Jack Fébus Arte France - Mezzo
This song is one of my favorites that he performs. It's so great to watch him play again. It just doesn't get any better than this. The Song IS Fred Hersch.
Am green with envy. Wish I could play at this level in this style. Beautifully done - rhapsodic ballad from 1932 written by Jerome Kern (music) & Oscar Hammerstein II (lyrics) This is a song that used to run through my head as a young boy, occasionally attempting to sing it in operatic style.
bravo Fred Hersh, c'est magnifique, une très belle version de The Song is You, avec les prises de vues sur les vitraux, et les femmes et leurs éventails, how romantic ! love Mina
On par with k Jarrett and Bill Evans in terms of lyrical playing. Pure genius
exactly correct.
I agree!
just was thinking of gleefull bill evans 'entertained' from high above (his current dwelling..)

There is so much beauty in these few minutes that I can go on listening to this for days on end.

Fredi 1am
Key change at 4.40 - 5.00. Dang!
"Why can't I let you know?" Kern/Hammerstein asked.
I have listened to it countless times! The progression of chords at the beginning is astounding and then beauty just flows.
04 24, maybe just a little ideas from The Nearness of You?? Great performance, the complete concert in France
