New York Afternoon

New York Afternoon is an album by saxophonist Richie Cole's Alto Madness recorded in 1976 and released on the Muse label.

Reception
Allmusic noted "This Muse album features the group that altoist Richie Cole and the late singer Eddie Jefferson co-led in the mid-'70s. They had a mutually beneficial relationship, with Cole learning from the older vocalist and Jefferson gaining extra exposure from associating with the popular young saxophonist".
