Product Information
Watching and listening to Buddy Rich in action was one of the greatest visual spectacles and aural attractions the world of jazz ever offered. His mental and physical co-ordination and his capacity to confound the onlooker made many question the evidence of their own eyes.
Buddy's spectacular drum solos, in particular, defied the imagination and left many of his fellow drummers shaking their heads in amazement and disbelief as they left the venue where Rich had performed. Rich's immense talent as a drummer revealed itself in a number of characteristics.
First of all came his terrifying speed of execution, but his playing also demonstrated musical virtues in its clarity and dynamic range, coupled with the sense of excitement and theatrical spectacular Rich aroused with his playing. Buddy Rich's character has been described by many commentators as cocky, rashly outspoken and brutally sarcastic.
Buddy Rich was a man of diamond hard convictions, who never did allow others to do his thinking for him. He respected talent, but could not stand phonies. He was a ruthless taskmaster, but he got results. He honestly and forcefully championed his musical values, especially big band jazz, his first and remaining love.
