Roamin' with Richardson

Roamin' with Richardson is an album by saxophonist Jerome Richardson recorded in 1959 and released on the New Jazz label.

Reception

Scott Yanow of AllMusic states, "Richardson plays baritone on three songs (in a deep tone a little reminiscent of Pepper Adams and Leo Parker), two on tenor and one on flute ... in excellent form, swinging through three group originals, 'I Never Knew', 'Poinciana' and a strong version (on baritone) of Duke Ellington's 'Warm Valley'."
