Brian Murphy played a duet to an intimate audience with electronic violinist Vitali Imerelli last evening in Pompano Beach at BaCa.
It was an absolute delight as they jazz-bounced off each other with joy, humor and perfect pitch. Both the music and their relationship went right to my heart. It was a musical conversation, it was light, it was profound and it was 'Play'. For the first time I understand what it means to 'play' music.
