Virtuoso pianist Eunbi Kim performs concert music by Fred Hersch.

The virtuoso pianist Eunbi Kim performs concert music by the exploratory artist Fred Hersch on this recording. Kim's recital and recording projects are frequently sparked by a fresh artistic obsession, and often present the audience with intimate and challenging subject matter. Her genre-defying, often interdisciplinary recitals have been presented in prestigious venues across the United States. Kim is a perfect match for Fred Hersch's music, which is known for its personal and expressive pianistic style. While this is a recording of his concert music, Hersch is also well known as an innovative pianist in jazz, being credited with more than 40 albums. He is the author of Good Things Happen Slowly: A Life In and Out of Jazz.
