Buddy Rich - Mel Torme: Love For Sale - 1979 -

[@mickael1673]

Drums masterclass , and scat masterclass !!! 2 kings!

[@jimgeary]

Wow Mel torme is a BOSS.

[@brianbrusseau3233]

Yes, the comment about Mel was also a drummer is correct. Also take note that Mel was also an accomplished arranger and orchestrator. Every note and chord you heard was written by Mel. Buddy and Mel were very good friends and respected each other's musical knowledge. The best jazz singer and the best jazz drummer on the same stage. It doesn't get much better than this.

Absolute perfection!

[@rick3747]

Two great friends and two world class musicians. RIP Buddy and Mel ❤

[@donaldbucher472]

I saw Tormé the year before as a college student. I couldn’t believe what he could do, didn’t think it was even possible. Buddy Rich pushes him even greater heights here.

[@stardustshakedown]

The chemistry between these two here is phenomenal.

[@dorothygelder1085]

Both great musicians, having fun together!

[@TheAtkinsoj]

2:53 - Buddy's left-hand run, what an absolute monster. Flawless technique.

[@Ewerb7]

Along with Ella, Mel was a master of scat singing. Stunning!

[@azarisLP]

Only Mel Torme would have the chutzpah to tell BR to not play so loud to his face.

[@gregtapevideo1464]

They were close friends for years!

[@Ladysdg]

TOUR DE FORCE!!! Just like that! WoW!!!!

[@Gretsch0997]

It’s magic , … every time. Just wow!

[@ricksegal3065]

Mel Torme was an incredible singer and scatter.

[@ovepayne]

...and a drummer himself and best buddies with Buddy!

Lol scat

[@hurricane6014]

Holy shit man! That’s jazz!

[@rushfan79]

The true epitome of singer and drummer! Can't ask for anything more.

[@FIBONICITY]

His pitch is exceptional.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Remember, Mel was also a drummer.

[@scottrosenthal3437]

Don't forget about the late Ray Brown laying down his impeccable bass lines with Buddy. Mel's scat solo was killer. Only Mel could get away with telling Buddy he's too loud!

[@ManWithNoName2007]

Fantastic! 👍👍👍

[@paulgiacalone4471]

That’s what talent looks like

[@paulherlihy9290]

I really enjoyed that. I must admit I've never heard of Mel Thorne till now. What a performer! Buddy was just being Buddy, the best of the best. It's a real shame that, that type of musicianship is just lost to modern day music!

[@alangrund5031]

Mel Tormé (pronounced Tor-may) (nickname - The Velvet Fog) and Buddy went back together a long way. Mutual admiration. Mel wrote a biography about Buddy Rich. They also recorded an album together.

@@markroberts171 🤭 sorry!

[@cobra1010]

Wow, I did not know Mel Tormé - I am fascinated and impressed! And you had to be really good, to give instructions to Buddy Rich and not get fired (about playing a little quiter)!
