8	In Amsterdam: Live at the Bimhuis (2005) more music like this by Fred Hersch Over the years, this brilliant and facile two-time Grammy nominee has evolved from one of jazz's most respected sideman pianists (for artists like Stan Getz, Joe Henderson, and Toots Thielemans) into what the New Yorker calls "a poet of a pianist."

12 view cover	Songs and Lullabies (2003) more music like this by Fred Hersch & Norma Winstone This is a deeply romantic CD, but not the fluffy kind: its music and words are powerful and introspective, rather than syrupy or sentimental. Fred Hersch has recorded with many fine vocalists -- Janis Siegel, Meredith d'Ambrosio, Barbara Sfraga, and Luciana Souza among them -- but this is the first time these 11 compositions are all his own, with ... see all copies from $12.86! new only from $12.86!

16 view cover	Forward Motion (1991) more music like this by Fred Hersch This subtle set sneaks up on the listener, gradually building in tension and excitement.

Luckily, Hersch likes to use a percussive form of counterpoint often enough to juice things up, a plan that launches "The Song ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!

22 view cover	The Music of Thelonious Monk: Jazz Piano Essentials (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Though Thelonious Monk was a great jazz composer, this collection suffers because it does not offer his classic performances.
