by Mark Corroto
Seems of late, Mr Simon, Mr Garfunkel and the nation have been singing “Coo, coo, ca- choo, Mrs. Robinson" not for Joe DiMaggio or the deceased Ann Bancroft, but for drummer Barry Altschul. Somehow, in the 1980s and '90s we misplaced him. Actually, he moved to Europe, recording for smaller labels before he quietly returned to ...

His 1960s Blue Note Records and 70s Impulse! dates ...
