As many of you know, our Mark Perna Music team photographer/videographer is Aaron Jackendoff and you can see his work all over this website.  And you'll also see his photos from this night up on the site soon as well.  We were lucky to have another great photographer in the audience at the Richie Cole CD release party at James St. on December 2, 2016: Rick Finkelstein.  Rick has graciously allowed me to post some of his photos here.  Go to:
