N.Sea Jazz Fest.)
For Buddy, Playing his instrument was not like running a program. He started so young, and was obviously given good basic if informal instruction by the drummers his family ran into on the Vaudeville circuit…. And all while he was just learning how to walk… It was in the operating system. It was in his bios. He lived through he history of the jazz drums and embodied a good hunk of it. He was basically born on the road and died on the road. Along the way, he took an occasional vacation…
Great example of Buddy directing the bassist to stop dragging. At least that's what I think happened. Definitely behind the beat, Buddy talks to him, then he gets in gear and the rest of the performance is sharp as a tack. All the classic big bands demanded precise time, and Count Basie's and Buddy's band were at the top of the list for it.
Yeah, I think you're right. It sounds like they dropped a few BPMs after the bassist started, and then after the "talking to" the tempo picked up again and felt more locked in (and the expression on Buddy Rich's face totally changed).
Incredible for sure! I've listened to a number of his performances, and remarkable especially as he was getting older and not slowing down. Not that it is a good comparison, but Jascha Heifetz in my opinion is a better player on the violin than he is on the drums....in terms of musical gifts, Jascha was greater, and arguably the finest musician who lived.....BUT this isn't a comparison of different instruments, and I take the same point with comparing Buddy and his friend Neil Peart.....Neil didn't play 6 drums or the Charlie Watt set up, he played 4 large drum kits like an octopus- and he is a rock drummer - so my comparison is just my opinion, everyone i mentioned are genius'

HAH! Ya, the bass player almost turned the beat around in the 1st min...
