Buddy Rich - Just In Time & Shawnee | 1986 | MDA Telethon

[@rhythmfield]

It’s great to hear this mix. it sounds like a mixing board mix so it’s not meant for recording, but for a live mix. The reason it’s great is, you can really hear the details of what buddy was doing, especially his incredible driving footwork on the bass drum. And of course, the astonishing crisp intensity, and power on his snare drum. To my ear, it looks like he was using Calf Heads and went back to his old sound from the glory days of the big bands like Tommy Dorsey etc. he must’ve realized that this is the best possible natural sound of Drums, and he might even be playing an old Slingerland Radio King set.

[@brianchisnell1548]

The Drums are mid '40s. The heads are coated Remo plastic. The snare was restored and was a gift. He liked it so much, he asked for the rest of the kit. Done with endorsement deals. He played these with Dorsey as a kid.

Jazz rules!!!!!!!!!!😊

Someone like the great Buddy Rich doesn't just come along once in a lifetime they come along just once period!

[@brucethomson168]

Love seeing this version of his band grooving when they are not playing; Buddy is more chill at this time. Also like the way the Diplomat heads sound.

[@edtheycanstillperformwotho2131]

buddy rich was the greatest drummer i enjoy seeing this with sammy davis jr in audiance rich drumming style technic

[@markowen2649]

Really hard to believe Buddy had only months to live after this....miss him terribly 😔

[@user-wr1oc4yt3r]

He was incredibly talented, but he was a supreme jackass of a person. I used to play with a couple of the guys from his band and they shared some stories about the guy, and he was really dislikable and nearly everyone in the band hated the guy

[@Xformat01]

Buddy will never die . . . he is timeless!

[@chrisbellomo2763]

Buddy was the swingingest! And chops to spare!

[@mikekelly9851]

Imagine if Buddy played double bass drum kit like Louie Bellson?

[@pujols2112]

Props to that piano player, too. Also a percussive instrument...

[@MrFchank]

The greatest drummer of all time. PERIOD!!

[@921ster]

Just incredible, rest in peace BR.

[@doomsdaygray]

Seeing this old master at work really blows my mind!

[@jamesperry2322]

"You're playin' clams out there,tonight!"

[@onemoremisfit]

"Shut that f**in' door!"

[@rhythmfield]

The old master, leading yet another great band-his final band here I believe. With his longtime great saxophone soloist Steve Marcus from the left, followed by my friend Mike Rubino next to Steve, and sadly, I can’t name any of the other players. They are all great, you had to be, to be hired by BR.

[@sinatrafan9856]

Other sax players after Mike Rubino are: Bob Bowlby, Chris Bacas, and Jay Craig.

[@dantheman3825]

Man i love greg gisberts trumpeting! And the other guys next to him playing all the high notes!

[@dantheman3825]

Its eric miyashio next to him i found out!

[@GFS40]

I saw him February in 86 with this band from backstage at a high school in Cleveland. Got some pics and talked to him and many of the players

[@TheMisterGriswold]

Saw him at a high school in CT. Just hanging out front, leaning on his car, chatting with people going in. One cool dude.

[@stevenpratt5016]

Got stoned with him on his tour bus with the whole band.My brother was in the trumpet section.Joints were on Buddy!

[@GiulioMa]

Il piu' grande di sempre

[@ricksegal3065]

Awesome. One of the greats.

[@malinwj1167]

The whole band is great, and obv Buddy is great, but the guy here on the bass guitar RULES

[@badtriad9684]

A period in entertainment -don't know if will EVER be repeated...

[@duanewilson3941]

It won't be.

[@bradbartlett3022]

Wow

[@drumboneman1]

2nd tenor is Chris Bacas from PA.

[@mgmmgm1599]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Warpedsmac]

Thanks so much for posting this. I have never seen this footage of BR before. Two of the greats in different fields, although JL could play quite well. Cheers from Australia.

[@whyyoulittle4537]

2073 anyone????

[@fredfender]

King Rich is gone but he'll always be #1.

[@Philip-ck5if]

AND MANY MORE ❤ .

[@paulrichmond9720]

Problem with our Buddy was, he was just TOO good. Effortless. The content and his technical abilities were mind blowing. It got to the point we just expected to see something unbelievable.... and he NEVER disappointed.

[@tywoodruff2218]

Buddy & the band were absolutely killin’ it! Of course, Buddy would die April 2, 1987.

Swing baby swing...

Matt Harris Piano!

[@harthenry]

That looks like Eric Miyashiro back on trumpet

[@mlaprarie]

It is.

[@mikemarlier1]

Yup. Greg Gisberg on solo trumpet.

[@vincenzoa2929]

There’s just not any live tv talent like this kinda shit anymore…

[@NelsonMontana1234]

I thought Buddy was endorsing LUDWIGS at this time, but this set doesn;' look like it. Sounds good though. Sometimes when Buddy played stock Ludwigs with Ludwig heads on the Carson show they sounded pretty awful.

[@Neil-Aspinall]

If you listen to the bass it has nothing to do with the piece, he just plays a million notes all in the wrong keys.

I believe it’s Matt Harris. Check out this video of Harris talking about his gig as Buddy’s last pianist. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqCbkohvq6aZirMsi=C_V9PiyOskynxxF9

Not jazz master by any means. Jazz to me is a loose cannon. Anything goes with it's feel.

[@sPi711]

The only thing that needs interrupting is Jerry Lewis' running at the mouth.
