Leaves of Grass

For “Leaves of Grass” fans, jazz pianist Fred Hersch has skillfully adapted Whitman’s work to music. Seventeen passages are included in a recently released CD on Palmetto Records. An interesting work. The jazz show on our PBS station has been playing selections over the past couple of weeks. Interesting enough that I have ordered it!

the “Buds of Grass” compilation. The work rises from sublime to cerebral to downright interdimensional at times.
