Rich Halley: Terra Incognita
by Troy Dostert
In a musical career that stretches back to the 1980s, tenor saxophonist Rich Halley has stoutly maintained his independent path in creating jazz that is inspired by the freedom of the '60s avant-garde but which also draws liberally from the language of bop.

Rich Halley 3: The Literature
by Jim Trageser
Tenor saxophonist Rich Halley decided, according to the liner notes, to make his twenty-first recording an all-covers collection. The title of the recording, he writes, comes from his thought that if “literature" connotes a body of work in classical music, then why not in jazz as well--and so he's collected a dozen of the songs that ...
Rich Halley 3: The Literature
by Karl Ackermann

Rich Halley 5: The Outlier
by Budd Kopman
