This We Know

Their previous duo album 'This We Know' covers many facets of jazz, from ballads to improvisation and from Monk to Latin. 'I met Michael in the summer of 1975 in Boston', says Hersch. 'I came from Cincinatti and he from Northern California to study with the legendary pianist Jaki Byard. We spent many hours playing duets and listening to records. My musical relationship with him is the most enduring and ongoing partnership of my life. After he moved to Amsterdam we continued to play together and have made a number of albums that I find very special. He is one of the best, most creative players and composers I know and I am a huge fan of everything he does. He is a crown jewel for Dutch music and I look forward to this opportunity to make music together again after so many years.' 'Top-notch musicianship from two close friends. Hersch and Moore know how to tell a colorful story.' (All About Jazz).
