Fred Hersch's music is so beautifully arranged and calming that it has quickly become our favorite CD. In a dental practice it really helps to restore balance to an anxious patient or a team member under stress. Music in a dental office is always tricky. This is one of our best means of creating a healthier environment.

Fred Hersch's interpretations of classic quiet songs calm the heart and ease the nerves. It's easy to get transported to somewhere far away, to forget, for a while, all the chores and needs and responsibilities that await you.
