Randolph Colville (23 May 1942[1] – 15 January 2004)[2] was a Scottish jazz swing clarinettist, saxophonist, bandleader and arranger, perhaps best known for his work with the Keith Nichols' Midnite Follies Orchestra.
He was born in Glasgow, Scotland.[1] Colville began his studies at Robert Gordon's College in 1958, and graduated from the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, England, teaching clarinet there years later.[1] Colville soon became a regular of the Manchester jazz scene, playing with a number of local groups throughout the 1960s.[1]
