Episode 57: Artists in Quarantine with Fred Hersch

Speaking of the Arts

Today we pick up on our Artists in Quarantine mini series and feature the pianist, composer, and activist Fred Hersch (https://fredhersch.com). Our conversation covered a lot of great things that Fred is up to right now including his daily live streamed concerts (https://www.facebook.com/fredherschmusic/), his new album with Esperanza Spaulding (https://esperanzaspaldingfredhersch.bandcamp.com/?fbclid=IwAR30TpnRPjh7WnpPx-Bgv7eSvL_ezddvmYZXrvIUe9xZc1Hd5UO81UgYhTU), his documentary called The Ballad of Fred Hersch (https://fredherschfilm.com/), which is available on YouTube, his production of My Coma Dreams (https://mycomadreams.com/), his steady release of new singles on Spotify, and how Fred approaches meditation and some of the benefits he receives from his practice. I am always inspired after speaking with Fred and I hope everyone listening enjoys our conversation as much as I did. Stay safe and take care. Live music will return.
