Sunshine Jazz Presents RICHIE COLE! Sunday March 26, 2017 in Miami FL

SJO's monthly Sunshine Jazz Concert Series continues with an evening of “Alto Madness” featuring alto sax ace, RichieCole!  He’s stood with legends—the world’s been his stage—Richie Cole is the ultimate quixotic cacophony of cool! The super stellar musicians joining Richie for this special SJO concert appearance will be Jorge Garcia - guitar, Danny Burger - drums and Don Coffman - bass!

Richie Cole started on sax at 10 years old and has played with many iconic Jazz legends starting with the Buddy Rich Big Band, Lionel Hampton’s Big Band, and Doc Severinsen’s Tonight Show Band. He toured the world with his own quintet — popularizing bebop in his own “Alto Madness” style, and performed with legendary vocalists including Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Sarah Vaughn and Nancy Wilson. Cole has graced the stage at the Village Vanguard and Carnegie Hall, and even gave a command performance for the Queen of England! His recent CD, “Richie Cole Plays Ballads and Love Songs” garnered 4 stars in Down Beat Magazine, while his newest release “The Many Minds of Richie Cole” (cover art by S. Florida  artist Daniel Pontet) is sure to become an instant classic!
