s.Painted Bride on Saturday was billed as the Fred Hersch Trio +2, rather than the Fred Hersch Quintet.When the lineup expands to include horns, as on the 2004 disc The Fred Hersch Trio +2, it is still that core chemistry that centers the music.He appeared at the Bride with Waits and a different bassist, the widely admired John Hebert.Hebert improvised as the horns continued the theme, and each instrument came to float freely, from soloing to support and back again.Waits colored gently on cymbals but worked up to a startling final thunderclap. |
