Alto sax giant Richie Cole passed away in his sleep on May 2. His hard driving alto made him one of the more outstanding players in what could perhaps be described as the third wave of bebop.

Sad news. I have a DVD of a live concert with his quintet Alto Madness at the Village Vanguard. With an exciting pianist Bobby Enriquez and the great bop style guitarist Bruce Foreman. Marshall Hawkins bass and Scott Morris drums complete the line up. They are all really going for it and it's great. I see it's now up on YouTube. Here's the link below.

Groovin on a New York Afternoon was massive on the Acid/Jazz/Dance scene. What you might call a feelgood record.
Saw him live in Nice and North Sea Festival. Always a big hit with the crowd.Sad loss- a real bop legend.
