RICHARD COLE- Shade (CD)
Richard Cole's latest recording showcases the versatile saxophonist in like-minded and stellar company. With trumpeter Randy Brecker again making an appearance, Shade is instantly compelling. Both rollicking and serene, Shade varies the program, from the back-beat of "Red Hat" to the 50's mainstream sound of pianist Bill Anschell's "Lana." Cole also supplies modern impressions of "Beautiful Love" and "I Could Write a Book" while showcasing several dynamic originals including the opening track "A Shade for Joe," a nod to the great Joe Henderson.
Tracklist:
- Shade of Joe, A - (In Memory Of the Great Joe Henderson)
- Moxy - (Bill's Monkish Tune On 'Doxy' Changes)
- You Don't Know What Love Is
- Don't Breathe on Me - (Ron's Tribute To Our Childhood Trips In t
- P.C. Wannabe
