"As a performer Herskowitz displays great command with all the necessary reserve to build convincing musical tension. He has an impressive formula for maintaining a groove through a sweeping arc of dynamics. Volume isn't always necessary in the company of an appreciative crowd of listeners and Herskowitz seizes the opportunity to be as compelling as possible."

News:

New review of Upstairs in Downbeat magazine's Editor's Picks! You can read the full review on the Press page.  

I just added a new video of a live performance I gave of Gershwin's I've Got Rhythm Variations on the Videos page. I improvised my own cadenza in the middle, in case you're wondering what that was! It was shot by a friend with a cam corder, but it's still quite watchable. Enjoy!
