🎶 About “Goodbye Judy”
Goodbye Judy is an original composition by Richie Cole, written as a personal tribute, and performed with melodic grace and emotional honesty. Unlike Cole’s fast-paced bebop burners, this tune slows the tempo and opens space for reflection, vulnerability, and beauty. It stands as one of Cole’s most moving pieces, showing the full expressive range of the alto saxophone in his hands.
