Whirl is the beginning of a triumphant comeback for Fred Hersch. NPR calls the outstanding record "unflinching...it demonstrates that his musical gifts were merely interrupted...with Whirl, Hersch can build on his firmly established style and versatility." Vanity Fair calls Hersch "the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz over the last decade or so. And his new, comeback album, Whirl, is a testament to Hersch's deep reserves of talent and resolve."
