Anat Cohen & Fred Hirsch

Live in Healdsburg

Released: March 2018

Anat Cohen and Fred Hersch, arguably two of most prolific and celebrated artists in modern jazz today, proudly announce the release of their debut duo recording, Live In Healdsburg. The album, due out on Anzic Records on March 9, displays qualities these world-class artists, and expert collaborators, have in abundance: empathy, open hearts, big ears, quick instincts, and an ego-less approach to the music. Cohen and Hersch also have the rare gift of combining virtuosity and beauty, which permeates every note they play. Recorded live at the Healdsburg Jazz Festival, Raven Performing Arts Theater, Healdsburg, CA, June 11, 2016. 

DownBeat describes *Live in Healdsburg* as “like having coffee with an old friend: It wraps itself around your ears and reminds you there is so much beauty in the world.” Capturing the warmth and spontaneity of their live performance, Cohen and Hersch effortlessly navigate jazz standards and originals with deep sensitivity, showcasing a musical dialogue that is both intimate and profound.
