This song is one of my favorites that he performs. It's so great to watch him play again. It just doesn't get any better than this. The Song IS Fred Hersch.

There is so much beauty in these few minutes that I can go on listening to this for days on end.

The guy is a genius. Pure music.

On par with k Jarrett and Bill Evans in terms of lyrical playing. Pure genius

I have listened to it countless times! The progression of chords at the beginning is astounding and then beauty just flows.

This elegant tune and sound of the piano is the reflection of personality deep inside.

This is amazing - so beautiful. Piano perfection

Wonderful music!!!! Fred Hersch for President 🎹 thanks for sharing 🎹

Am green with envy. Wish I could play at this level in this style. Beautifully done - rhapsodic ballad from 1932 written by Jerome Kern (music) & Oscar Hammerstein II (lyrics) This is a song that used to run through my head as a young boy, occasionally attempting to sing it in operatic style.

Astounding piano playing,by,The genius Fred Hersch.

I think that was his best performance of a tune

pure beauty

Fred is a wonderful pianist. Any opportunity to hear him is a delight. Thank you for this upload.

bravo Fred Hersh, c'est magnifique, une très belle version de The Song is You, avec les prises de vues sur les vitraux, et les femmes et leurs éventails, how romantic ! love Mina

Il pianista che vorrei essere.

and the melody/bassline counterpoint @ 7.50 :)

04 24, maybe just a little ideas from The Nearness of You?? Great performance, the complete concert in France

I saw Fred at the Village Vanguard about eight years ago. Enjoyed!

How they did that fantastic sound of piano?

... chorei

"Why can't I let you know?" Kern/Hammerstein asked.

Piano ecstasy.

Like Bill Evans

N’est-ce pas un concert donné à St. Émilien ?
