"A masterclass in mindfulness. The jazz pianist’s first project with a string quartet and rhythm section is thoughtful and comforting, but also rewards repeat listening."
- The Telegraph
Jazz pianist and composer Fred Hersch presents his new project Breath by Breath, referencing his well-known practice of mindfulness meditation, which has been an important part of his life during the pandemic.
“When I started, I realized that in a way I’ve been meditating my whole life — but on a piano bench. I close my eyes when I play and I go into that world. Occasionally I get distracted, but I don’t get wrapped up in it. Instead of my breath being an anchor, the anchor is the sound that I get, the tactile feeling of my fingers on the keys, hearing the space around the music, and leaving that space for other musicians to contribute.”
- Fred Hersch
