Recommended Posts

it's my only Richie Cole ... ugly cover, lovely music

he can be heard to good effect on some of those steaming hot Buddy Rich big band albums on Pacific Jazz (he was on board 1969/70 I think - at least that's when he was on records)

also he made some records with Red Rodney - I've got some of that on one of those Camden 2CD sets from the 90s, not played often yet though ...

Return To Alto Acres is my favorite Richie Cole album.

Some of Cole's albums didn't do much for me. They went "over the top" at times!

Cole seemed to disappear from the scene for a number of years, but has fairly recently returned.

He played at a jazz party I attended within the last couple of years. He sounded better than ever.
