Fred Hersch plays jazz piano in an elegant sort of post-Bill Evans style -- but unlike with Evans, there are never any lapses of taste, no creeping instances of lameness (he's almost like Teddy Wilson in his nearly faultless tastefulness).  Here he duets with Anat Cohen, one of New York's more treasurable players, coaxing sounds of exceeding sweetness from her clarinet.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Somehow 4 Charles Prime Rib seems appropriate (and if you're not up to the roast beef, the burger really is all that).
