Biography
American jazz multi-reed player, primarily saxophonist (alto, tenor, baritone, soprano) and flutist.
Born November, 15th 1920 in Sealey, Texas, died June 23, 2000 in Englewood, New Jersey.
Among the earliest jazz artists of the modern post-war era to record with the flute as a main instrument. A master of a variety of saxophones, flutes, clarinets and other woodwinds, Richardson performed as a sideman on hundreds of recordings not limited to jazz but stage, screen, TV and across various musical genres.
