Steve Marcus nailed it on Sax as well as Rich on drums. One of the rare times Rich was looking at another solo! RIP both of them - the best in their music.

[@SiFiClark]

I played pro sax for 15 years, albeit quite often in a big band set up, so that is my favorite style of Jazz...but Steve..he was so, so good..always on the money...the man..RIP

[@dinodeluca8842]

This is vintage Buddy Rich! His hands are like musical machine guns…..he and the band sound incredible

[@patrickmurphy9877]

Name me one other drummer that can do this...then show them doing it. One of a kind. I met BR and will never forget it.

[@MrFchank]

I not only met him but sat on his bus,talked with him and left with his autograph. A memory, I'll never forget.

[@markowen2649]

Met Buddy several times through out the UK ...loved and miss him every day..😢

I love Buddy Rich ...but the sax player - the way he made that sax scream... you can tell they were just in sync and Buddy was lovin it.

I absolutely love this version!! Outstanding live performance period!! 😮 Always loved this chart too.

The first time I ever heard a big band performing was with Buddy and His big band machine February 20 1975 Fredonia state College I've seen him Tito puente and the Glenn Miller orchestra but he was the first one for it was a night to remember he performed a 10 minute solo that was off the charts one of the all time drumming and jazz greats RIP Buddy

[@rickdavenport9538]

The first 2 mins is a masters class in virtuosity. Good grief!!!

[@thekidk13]

Every time I hear this song, I want to write music again.

[@markpmar0356]

Forces of nature such as BR was are rare things. I am glad to have lived in the time when he was among us. All his live performances were memorable, at the very least.

[@johnnyreo9681]

A master at work, still in his prime, with a great band.. Buddy Rich was truly one of the yery best ever!

Imagine poor old Ginger Baker trying to compete with that , no chance , Buddy's on a cosmic level in the art of drumming.

[@SAHBfan]

Why bing Ginger Baker onto it? He was an entirely different type of musician, absolutely great at what he did - but this isn’t an athletic meeting, they are not in competition.

[@eddiegalloway7089]

Because Ginger once challenged Buddy to a drum battle. But later backed out.

[@SAHBfan]

@@eddiegalloway7089 - I have never seen any evidence of that - In all I've read and watched about Ginger Baker - which must be mostly everything out there - I have never seen any reliable evidence of this drum battle or Ginger not turning up. I am very keen to see some, though...

[@zenmasterx]

@@SAHBfan We are always comparing, so they are always in competition.

[@novadrian]

​@SAHBfan Actually the drum battle challenge was with Elvin Jones, which I went along to, only to find it had been cancelled due to a Musicians' Union ruling. Ginger Baker' Airforce played the gig, with Elvin Jones peeking his head out watching from backstage. The drum battle was rescheduled some weeks later..

🥳🥳HAPPY "AFTERLIFE" BIRTHDAY, BUDDY RICH ! 🥳🥳

[@rayszymarek2920]

There have been one zillion drummers that have come and gone only one drummer was the holy grail of drumming the man’s name was buddy rich enough said caseclosed

[@skipmessier765]

Buddy, Buddy Buddy. Your talent is unmatched. Just watching you fly around that set is mind boggling. And adding Steve Marcus to the proceedings with his Sonny Rollins-like cadenzas was just too much. I agree though, inserting a commercial in the middle of Buddy’s solo was a sacrilege !!!

[@SAHBfan]

Putting an advert in the middle of the solo was an act of vandalism. Advertisers are so sensitive about not having their adverts on platforms that might support political or cultural positions they think might be unpopular- yet this thread is full of comments from people annoyed that they wrecked the performance- you’d think they’d have more sense…

[@peterg.bassist]

This is SUPER! Reminds me of back in 1977 when I played bass in a large 18 piece showband which performed this song LIVE in concert: it was awesome, as were all of the rehearsal sessions for this Jazz Masterpiece.

[@markthomas6436]

I knew Chuck Schmidt at NTSU 1972-1975. He would practice in the McConnell Hall cafeteria in the evenings while most of us were watching movies. I several times asked him for a Double C. He would slur up from high C and it would cut through me LIKE A KNIFE! He had iron chops and his tone was extremely centered and pure.

[@giulioferro8550]

Non ho parole ascoltate !!!! IL GENIO BUDDY E LA SUA ORCHESTRA , FA IMPRESSIONE DI TANTA BRAVURA ,ECCEZIONALE !!!!

[@athlonian11]

Adverts in the middle of performances like this should be illegal. Simple as that! Just as Steve Marcus was about to get down and dirty on his solo, in comes an ad for washing powder🙈 Buddy wouldn't have approved either!🤣 What a performance though from Buddy and "the greatest band he ever had".

World of Jazz no there is no argument Buddy was and still is the greatest that as ever lived, Buddy's opening salvo blew the rest of the drumming fraternity into oblivion.

And Buddy REALLY knows how to throw out a "salvo" :o) Kinda reminds me of the CIWS system on Navy ships (Phalanx),..and about as fast too.

[@jorgecallico9177]

Wish there was a personnel list. Like that lead Trumpet at 5:00. His the cat second from the left neatly trimmed bear and wearing glasses. . Hint! To find the lead trumpet in a big band, When there's four trumpets? Look for the drummer. If, like in this case he's on the audience's left? Lead tpt is middle left. Or Drummer, a. B c d Lead trumpet is letter capital B formation. Always in the middle but closer to the drummer of the two. But what about when band is carrying five trumpets? Answer: always the cat kn the middle. Lead trumpet= Crucial member of the band. He's the workhorse. More so than the drummer.

Would like to have heard a bigger sound from lead trumpet at 5:00 and elsewhere. Of course the described line at five minutes does rise to Double C but it didn't project. Been better if he'd buried the microphone into his horn. That is an important lead phrase and it just wasn't happening.
