What's taken these two so long? Okay, of course they've both juggled
collaborations and cross-pollinations in many different contexts, and
considering the nature of the job, it's probably not too surprising that Anat
Cohen and Fred Hersch need time to fit new endeavors into their busy
schedules. What's more surprising is the astounding degree of chemistry they
strike from the start. The mid-2016 festival set captured on Live in Healdsburg
seems to have been one of their earliest outings in this format, but taking in
their near-telepathic rapport, a casual listener could swear their
back-and-forth had been finely honed for ages. Let's hope that its billing as
"their debut duo recording" is phrased deliberately as a promise of more.
There's some room for the quiet intimacy Hersch shows in his solo piano
outings; witness a miniature tour-de-force of his longtime staple "Child's
Song" that sandwiches wistful elegance in between its playfully subdued
heads. More often, though, his spry sense of time livens up each piece they
tackle—a jaunty "Isfahan" gets adapted to these fun loping ryhthms as much as
any of the duo's originals—and Cohen is always right there in stride. Their
lines weave in beautiful counterpoint, from building the particularly
dynamic-flowing centerpiece of "The Peacocks" to coasting to the finish with a
quietly classy piece of Ellingtonia. The set isn't really a dialogue so much as
a happy whirling dance. They spin one set of adept and audacious steps after
another, spontaneous and unpredictable yet always bounding together to new
joyous heights.
