Hilary Kole: Versatile, Sweet and Jazzy

By R.J. DELUKE

Ralph Lalama: Steppin' Out, Steppin' Forward

By R.J. DELUKE

Ralph Lalama's rich tenor saxophone voice has been heard for years on the New York City scene, perhaps most notably with the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra and its predecessors, first led by Thad Jones and Mel Lewis, and later by just Lewis.
