Hang around for a surprise guest later. Unfortunately the musical pieces with the band are edited out for some mean reason or other but the rest is fine.

The channel you found the vid on also has the performances as separate segments.

Buddy Rich was the greatest drummer that ever lived, past or future. Just ask him.

I went to a workshop as a kid given by Buddy Rich. Speechless.

Maybe that's why I've seen Whiplash at least 10 times.

He was pretty much right though. Except music counts for more than just drums and projects Elvin Jones or even Jeff Tain Watts were in were more interesting to me than most of Buddy's output. The Citizen 'Tain album was killer and so was Ask the Ages.

Back in the early 70's I saw Buddy Rich with his big band live at an L.A. nightclub, Marty's On The Hill. The show was a double bill that featured a hot 'new' comic, Flip Wilson. They both were at the top of their game. Man, what a night!!

Q: What's the difference between a bull and the Buddy Rich Orchestra?
A: A bull has the horns in the front and the asshole in the back.

I love those tapes cause it shows you what kind of piece of shit slacker sidemen you have to deal with even at the top level of the game. He just didn't know how to deal with it in the best way.

Personally, I can't fault Buddy Rich's drumming on the "Bird & Diz" session, yes it has more swing than the usual Bop drumming, obviously the Buddy Rich style, but still good stuff.
