Sunday Song – Richie Beirach – Sidney Corbett
Friendship happens often on the same level of frequencies. But it is a bliss if two composers and musicians find each other, at least for a little while. Sidney Corbett commemorates his dear friend Richie Beirach, who passed away on the 26th of January 26. His jazz mastery was way above piano playing, it was deepest poetry and as easy as it might sound – truly speaking from the heart.
