While specific details of the January 15 performance are not readily available, the residency as a whole was notable for its intimate setting and the trio's cohesive interplay. Hersch's longstanding relationship with the Vanguard, a venue synonymous with jazz history, provided a fitting backdrop for this collaboration.
In the months following this engagement, Hersch continued to captivate audiences with performances at venues like the Mizel Arts & Culture Center in Denver, where he headlined the closing night of the Denver Jazz Fest in April 2026. (jccdenver.org)
