Jeremy Woolhouse and Shannon Birchall: Optimist’s Folly
The Bradetich Foundation shared this video of bassist Shannon Birchall performing a beautiful duet with pianist Jeremy Woolhouse, which was recorded last year at Baker Street Studios in Melbourne, Australia.
Birchall provides an introspective arco melody to set the tone of the song before the duo share a flowing improvisation over the song’s changes.
Perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Or any time.
