On this two-CD set, veteran altoist Richie Cole leads his Alto Madness Orchestra. Despite the name of the group, the arrangements are often dance band-oriented, melodic and quite safe. The happy craziness of Cole's earlier recordings is mostly heard in his solos and that of such fine sidemen as trumpeter Jack Walrath, trombonist Rick Stepton, guitarist Vic Juris and pianist Don Friedman. It is good to hear Cole still playing very much in his prime. The up-tempo pieces are generally exciting, at least during the solo segments, but the slower numbers tend to be predictable and a bit dull due to the charts. Perhaps the band book is meant to be played for conservative dancers, but listeners who prefer Richie Cole's more adventurous flights will have to be satisfied with moments of brilliance rather than a classic set.

Richie Cole
Active Decades: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Feb 29, 1948 in Trenton, NJ
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop
Back in the mid-'70s, when bebop was being greatly overshadowed by fusion, Richie Cole showed that not only was bop not old-fashioned, but it could be quite fun. His Alto Madness was essentially the idea that any tune, no matter how unlikely its source, could be turned into exuberant bop. Through the years, he has successfully recorded such songs as "The I Love Lucy Theme," "Holiday for Strings," "Horray for Hollywood," "The White Cliffs of Dover," "Come Fly With Me," "The Star Trek Theme," and even "La Bamba." Influenced by Phil Woods and Charlie Parker, Richie Cole heard jazz from an early age because his father owned a jazz club in New Jersey. He started on alto when he was ten, attended Berklee for two years, and joined Buddy Rich's big band in 1969. After a stint with Lionel Hampton, Cole formed his own group, doing a great deal to popularize bebop in the 1970s. Some of his finest recordings were his early ones for Muse, during a period when he often teamed up with singer Eddie Jefferson. His humor sometimes left critics cold, but Cole was one of the top bop-oriented players of the 1980s, and his Heads Up releases of the '90s (after a few years off the scene) are excellent.
