A mainstay on the Southern California jazz scene for three decades, reed player Kim Richmond is a supremely versatile musician who has also worked extensively as an arranger and composer. He’s toured and recorded as a member of numerous jazz orchestras, from the exploratory free improv of Vinny Golia and the brass heavy thunder of Stan Kenton to the relentless swing of Louis Bellson and the vigorously inventive charts of Bill Holman.
