MJF's Interview with
FRED HERSCH
Artists Who Influenced
Paul Bley
"As a musician one doesn’t want to disinherit oneself from any ethnic background. The more ethnic backgrounds the better." - Paul Bley
Teddy Wilson
"When you hear a large symphony orchestra in a concert hall, there's a big, sweeping sound that just doesn't get on to a record." - Teddy Wilson
Tommy Flanagan
"I’m in touch with the past, I keep the faith with simplicity. I even still have a rotary phone." - Tommy Flanagan
Earl Hines
"I always challenge myself. I get out in deep water and I always try to get back. But I get hung up. The audience never knows, but that's when I smile the most, when I show the most ivory." - Earl Hines
