Priorities

Why is so much painstaking effort put into Awards and Discography sections but so little into the body of the article?

Addressing Good Faith Edits by User:Bothered Twin

Tagging User:Sphilbrick, is it possible to review the edits that were reverted under copyright issues? Also, we should keep the edits that don't fall under copyright violation. I would appreciate feedback.

Early life and Education

Hersch was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Jewish parents. He began playing the piano at the age of four (under the tutelage of Jeanne Kirstein) and began to compose music by eight five. He won national piano competitions starting at the age of ten.

Hersch first became interested in jazz while at Grinnell College in Iowa. He dropped out of school and started playing jazz in Cincinnati. He continued his studies at ~~the~~ New England Conservatory under Jaki Byard, attracting attention from the press – “a fine showcase for Fred Hersch” – in a college recital.^[1] Upon graduation, he became a jazz piano instructor at the college the conservatory.^[2]

In his 2017 autobiography, Good Things Happen Slowly: A Life In and Out of Jazz, Hersch talks about seeing Sun Ra and his Intergalactic Arkestra at Gilly’s a now-closed jazz club in Dayton, Ohio. Hersch recalls being in the audience when bandleader Art Pepper kicked the pianist hired for the occasion off the stand and asked if there was anyone in the audience who could sit in, an offer that Fred took up which essentially launched his career.^[3]

Hersch has taught at the New England Conservatory, The Juilliard School, The New School, and The Manhattan School of Music and has given master classes around the world. He holds Honorary Doctorate degrees from Grinnell College and Northern Kentucky University.^{[citation needed]}

This is an example of one of the reverted changes. Contains citations and notable information about the individual's music career.
