Richie Beirach: Indelible Memories and Thought-Provoking Reflections on a Life in Jazz, Part 2
Part 1 | Part 2
Richie Beirach hovers somewhat mysteriously in the pantheon of the great modern jazz pianists. Some of the others in that category from his generation (coming up in the 1960s/'70s), like Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, and Kenny Barron have greater celebrity, but Beirach easily qualifies alongside them as ...
