Late to the party, as usual...
Just read this interview, along with the NYT spread.
My $.02. Hersch's playing, what I heard of it, is full of technical faculty, and short of much else. It's introspective, but not introspective enough; it doesn't swing where it has to, and it doesn't make me cry where it should. I'm also not keen on the persistent necessity of injecting his sexuality in both the interview and the article. Other than that, both were interesting reads. Wish him the best of health, and long years!
