No doubt, he knew right from wrong, but it seems that he just couldn't help being silly. It best got put by some reviewer of some festival who described Coles' set by saying something like "warmed over third generation bebop is an acquired taste. I have not acquired it" That's it for me. And really, no disrespect meant, the guy obviously did the work and paid at least some dues. There was so much other stuff happening at the time, even on Muse, so much other stuff. Even with Eddie Jefferson, Richie Cole did not really seem necessary, but he kept being there anyway, sorta like Ron Jeremy.

He started with Buddy Rich, and was apparently "groomed" to b a star or something. Truthfully, I found him to be an altoist for people who found Phil Woods too difficult. His mid-70s Muse records were very popular, and god bless him, he did give Eddie Jefferson his last career boost. Maybe Eddie's murder got him off his axis or something, because his stuff just started getting....weird, and not in a good way.

SUPER quick delivery on the order from Cryptogramaphone.

Hell, he shot a man in Reno just to watch him die. This is, like, real motive.

Randy Stifhat - What's YOUR Problem? (A Tribute)

One solo, really.

Don't miss him on that Waymon Reed Artists House album. His most adventurous playing, imo, and still totally in that Jimmy Forrest pocket.

Topsy Durham Kenny Dorham Bill Kenny

Janet Cloy - All The Songs You Need To Know

78 material, with both the pros and cons thereof. Myself, I like Arnett being able to play longer. But otoh, it's band sides and that is not without its own charm.

Paper Man Paperboy Paper Doll

The Red Rawh Seven - NONSTOP!!! Live at The Open Gape

Zippy Pepperton - 100 Year Old Music For 50 Year Old People!!!!

For the solos, the album with Al Hibbler.

It took about 60 years, but the Reds finally got a taste of their own medicine https://www.astrosdaily.com/audio/64johnson.mp3 https://www.astrosdaily.com/history/19640423/ https://www.lonestarball.com/2022/5/15/23074105/reds-no-hit-pirates-still-lose

Recliar Mardis - Mints of Many Colors

L'il Jimmy - New Jeans For The Rodeo

They're ordering dinner in on one, talking to their girlfriends who don't dig jazz on the others, something about having to work late tonight, you know how it is, etc.

They wouldn't know what to do with it if they got it.
