I just heard some of Mr. Hirsch's jazz on NPR and I had never heard of him before. He evidently is highly thought of.
Anybody care to recommend one of his albums?
Follow Ups:
I have been a fan or Mr. Hersch for quite some time now. I'd recommend:Fred Hersch in Amsterdam: Live at the Bimhuis
Fred Hersch : Concert Music 2001-2006 (the Chorale that he does 24 variations from is from, I believe, St. Matthew's Passion)
The Fred Hersch Trio + 2
Fred Hersch: Live At Maybeck, Volume 31
Fred Hersch & Julian Lage — Free Flying
AND MY FAVORITE:
Leaves of Grass (Fred Hersch Ensemble doing a song suite based on Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman)
I also have his DVD, which allows you to much better understand the man behind the harmonies: Let Yourself Go: The Lives of Fred Hersch.

Lots of recommendations Marty, thanks!
I like him as well. He gets much air-time on XM radio Jazz channel 67.
Here are three:In Amsterdam: Live at the Bimhuis
Thelonious: Fred Hersch Plays Monk
