Richie Cole: Have Yourself an Alto Madness Christmas
by Jack Bowers

There aren't many, however, who have more fun making music than the well-traveled alto saxophonist who, late in life, has found a place to call home in Pittsburgh, PA.
"Anatomy Of Vince Guaraldi" Documentary Re-Discovers Long-Lost Jazz Treasures

by Jim Trageser
While nearly all of the buzz in the music press about the Girshevich Trio has been about the young age of drummer Aleks Girshevich--who was roughly 12 when this album was recorded, the second of his young life--sooner or later his career will be judged solely by his playing.
