Just to sit and hear a chapter from his life's journey , whether it be about Muhammad Ali or Miles Davis is worth the price of admission . But , it's when you hear him sing about it that it takes hold. Think of Nat Cole , Billy Eckstine and Lou Rawls .... "Smooth and velvety like a finely aged port ,but with a hint of bourbon".... he's the real deal . Quietly steeped within and influenced by the classic gentlemen of jazz/soul/gospel vocalists like Tony Bennett , Donny Hathaway , Bill Withers and Andrae Crouch. Richard Sherman has been a tour de force for 40 years in the South Bay area of Southern California . Playing at every single venue known and has deserved the utmost respect as a leader ,pianist and superb accompanist . He's known for playing a variety of styles , classical, swing , latin, ballad, blues , motown, soul and R&B. Richard has a reputation of being precisely what a venue needs musically. After hearing him only once , management will often tell him "you can never leave"! Richard brings out the best in people through his mild approachable manner and warm heart . That becomes obvious once you hear him play. It's here, deep within his passion for melody and harmony joined together in a heartfelt song ; that he alone has what it takes to compliment a singer like Bili Redd. "Body and Soul". The real magic happens when you combine the two artists together. After so many years of performing together . They have perfected their craft into a seamless and effortless display of musical artistry that is undeniably a musical gift.
