BUDDY RICH BIG BAND

This is Buddy in his later years with some amazing brush work. Check out his incredible left hand during the drum breaks.

Buddy was a musical purist who truely loveed the music he and his band played. He brought the music up to new level whenever he played creating a whole different 'vibe' .

This video proofed that he was greates drummer of alltime... No one else can handel that technique... Rip Buddy =)

[@stantomas]

This is one of my fav Buddy videos, Sure he can blast out super fast/precision solos...but he was smiling this entire tune. What a great other side of his playing displayed here...I was smiling the whole tune too...thx for posting!

So nice to hear Buddy Rich in a trio setting. Sure, he can "drive" a big band and has practically no equal in that realm; but he was also very subtle and tasteful in a small setting. He really was...the consummate drummer.

You were lucky to have heard Keiner live! Barry Keiner was always my favorite, but cunliff sounds great here. The true test of a pianist is hearing him play If I Were A Bell at this tempo. Buddy Rich always had the best players in his band. Cheers

Very tasteful drumming. I love what Buddy does right after 4:50.

Thanks for this , in a nutshell ...and Balance ,intuition ,innate, etc.- all these comments really start to bore the process ,watching a true artist .pickin apart every ,note ,fill, trip; he played very few rudiments .paradiddles etc. He often said he believed in total improv/ feel in Jazz...at 12:00 tomorrrow if he was here ,he would chew you up/out, spit yu out ,break your jaw . before you can blink... all respect...

The one thing he never received full praise for was his brush playing , i seen him so many times display amazing brush technique born out of small group playing . All those years with JATP ( jazz at the Phillharmonic ) wish id of been around then . Also his understanding of what was going on around him was immense , will music ever produce another like him ? not in the next 4.5 billion years .

Musicality of Rich is demonstrated easily on two albums with his sextet. Playtime and Caravan. They're great.

Bill Cunliffe now teaching at CSU Fullerton. Bassist Dave Carpenter just passed away a couple of months ago

Man, that band is BLAZIN'..!! In all seriousness...Buddy's greatest attribute were his ears. Check out his comping in the piano choruses. Very heavy.

if there was one thing buddy wasnt, it was honesty lol
