I was a stage tech at Disneyland in 1973. They had jazz shows at Carnation Corner. I walked up to the crew, talking in a circle, and they all said, “Steve can mix this show tonight!” I actually did a great job but just before the set ended someone said over the com, “Do you think Buddy will karate the sound tech tonight?” I started shaking in my boots. But at the end Mr Rich approached the crew and said, “Who mixed the damned sound tonight?” I thought here it comes! He walked over to me and vigorously shook my hand saying he loved the sound!! Boy was I flattered, and relieved. RIP Buddy.
BUDDY RICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE DRUMMER AND I REMEMBER A COMMENT HE MADE WHERE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE POOR QUALITY OF THE DRUMMERS TODAY AND HE SAID THE YOUNG DRUMMERS DON'T LISTEN TO THE OLDER DRUMMERS OTHERWISE THEY WOULD BE BETTER DRUMMERS.
Such class,slick, nobody can play like Buddy Rich, I love his feeling driving it towards the end of the song, he definitely had the lope thing happening.
Pretty sure that is his Fibes snare with the Rogers kit, unusual at this time to be playing Rogers after his disagreement with CBS. Drums sound great and inspired me to get a set which I still have. He used the Rogers Swiv O matic foot pedal for the rest of his career. This clip gives you a glimpse of how great his foot action was. He was one of a kind, thanks for posting the clip.
Based on the lugs, the snare could be a Fibes fiberglass snare, which was his favorite snare for many years and which lead to him being fired by Slingerland (or quitting). The story is Slingerland caught him using the Fibes snare, and he asked (dared) them to make a snare as good, they invited him to the factory to try the snares they made for him, and none were any good (according to him), and so he dropped Slingerland and went out and bought a kit with his own money (which could explain the Rogers kit in this video). Bill Ludwig found out he had no endorsement, and so asked him to play Ludwig, and he agreed to do so only as long as he found the snares acceptable. Several years later, a fan gave him a restored set of Radio Kings and he dropped Ludwig and played them from then on. If I recall correctly! The set had one of the old Radio King one-ply shell snares, which, in my experience, sound uniquely wonderful.
buddy looks so good in this footage, I mean no crazy hair pieces, he really had class you don't see anymore. And his playing... what can I say. thanks for the upload
I once saw Buddy live at the Cellar Door night club in Wash., D.C.; the band was following a comedy duo act that evening. Buddy came past at first outside in a limousine, then came in later. I was with three other friends sitting at a table in the balcony area when out of nowhere stepped Buddy Rich, who stood by nearby us watching the act on stage while smoking a cigarette. After we settled a little bit, two of us got up and asked for his autograph -- he gave it ... Then after the act finished, he went on stage and played outrageously great, doing something wistful with his left hand while playing to which I responded loudly because I knew what that was and how extreme it was to dare do! After the band played, he then steps away from his drums and walks to the front of the stage, kidding the audience. He then asks, "You got anything you wanna hear?" -- And I yell out, "Yeah, Louie Bellson..." He and the audience just laughed ... I just thought that I would add a bit of shtick -- I was just a teenager. We also chided him to let us come down and play something on the drums, say, some of our playing, see? He got a kick out of all this and said that some kid is always asks something like this, and everybody laughs, see? ... Buddy enjoyed the gig and said that he would mention the gig when he appears in a few days on the Tonight Show. He did or attempted to but was preempted by a wise guy comment by Johnny Carson -- he never got back to mentioning us all. It was great, memorable!
Ha Ha ... 'was unforgettable [to me] ... I later lost the autograph of Buddy, signed on my club cover-charge slip. You know -- a guy that I went-with does not even recall this event. To him I quipped, "How could you 'not' remember?" Well, in all fairness -- we 'were' into so many things then ...
I read the "Torment of Buddy Rich" very recently. I had read the Mel Torme book years ago. I really didn't know about the Marines experiences and the sense of being alone. He had raw spots that got needed by insensitive people.
came across a picture of the concert program of the 1965 Newport Jazz Festival. The day program featured the drum summit-the famed drum battle with Rich Bellson, Blakey, etc.. in the evening, was s jam session featuring Buddy Rich, Illinois Jacquet and Sonny Stitt. The following day at night, has listed Oscar Peterson, Count Basie and Frank Sinatra. Unreal. Hopefully one day this surfaces.
I caught that beautiful and artful smooth thing Buddy had going on and loved it. He was swinging and in the pocket! One of the best video's I have seen of Buddy.
The Mike Douglas Show up to their usual tricks with the camera effects when Buddy soloed. Used to make me so mad when i watched the show and they did this, can't remember how many times they did the same thing, alot. Buddy's early bands were made up with older veteran musicians which were were great but i liked the later bands with the young guys that were giving their all with great energy and enthusiasm.
BRs playing is more in focus...closer to what you could think and hear internally. Like Art Tatum, the is a level of sharpness of detail that you don't hear elsewhere. His life is like Michael Jackson...no real childhood...all professional performer. A genuine trooper.
The no real childhood part is so true, and very very sad. I have always felt bad for him; and yet, if it weren't for that, he would not be who he became. What a conundrum.
@@cloudview747 Buddy was forced to "grow up" when he was barely out of diapers and ended up financially supporting his entire family with a pair of drumsticks and his sharp wit. Then when he was barely an actual man was given an M1 rifle and trained to go fight and kill the yellow man... all of which might account for his rough edges and his reputation for demanding Perfection out of everyone he worked with, it's like you said if it weren't for everything he went through he would not have been who he was, one of the most amazing musicians in world history and definitely the greatest drummer in human history but I am preaching to the choir here. BTW, is that the fibes snare drum or a metal Rogers snare drum the lugs look a little bit like the fibes and it is definitely an eight lug snare drum but it's really hard to make it out as there are no close-ups. It sounds like a metal drum to me but that could just be the recording...?
Amazing in 1967 that smoking was not considered a link to heart problems. In fact only a decade earlier, butts were endorsed for Medial Doctors to carry with them in their bags on house calls. But Buddy miraculously lived and gave us another 20 years after this performance. I miss that man immensely. But somehow I think he would have walked off the sets of all these talk show hosts today.
Cloudview, you've outdone yourself again. This is a great piece of history. And those Rogers drums may be the best sounding of any brand he ever played.
Buddy is such an inspiration! Here, not only that he's fifty and has suffered two heart attacks, but he also had some muscle problems at the time and was just getting started! I don't know if you are aware of the importance of your sharing these beautiful Buddy's videos and audios with us. Thanks a million!
I actually am very much aware of the importance of my Buddy Rich RUclips channel - although I thank you for saying so. Back before I started doing all these uploads, I felt that Buddy was not properly represented on RUclips, which was an absolute travesty! But now that has been remedied. Buddy is now well represented in both videos and audios, for most of the years throughout his entire incredible career. He deserves it!
I think that you inspired a lot of people to share their collections. Since you are posting all these things, there's people like Norbert and others, and you can see amazing things on RUclips.
Oh, okay, I see what you mean. And you may be right - which, like you said, makes it all the more important that decided to create my Buddy Rich RUclips Channel. Thanks.
9:21 to 9:26 is just completely beyond belief. Being a drummer myself I understand technically what Buddy is doing, but TO ACTUALLY DO IT is another thing entirely. Only The Drum Wonder can execute that move so perfectly/beautifully.
Totally agree, when i look at a BR solo it all makes perfect sense and in my head and i'm thinking "yeah maybe i could do that" then i sit down at the kit and try it...... errrr NOPE not really. As drummers and fans of Buddy all we could ever hope for is to be a faint echo of something that might resemble his playing, Kenn Loomer and Donny Osbourn are a couple that come to mind.
To me the only thing that makes him stand out is his speed and from a video I saw right before this explained his left hand technic, there is a trick to getting that speed.
I'm surprised. I didn't think Buddy was playing Rogers by this time. He was also on the "Away We Go" Show that summer and was playing VOX if not mistaken.
Me, too. The date is not right. Buddy visited the Trixon company in Hamburg in March 1967 and his set which he played for about half a year, was prepared as a VOX set which he played on July 1st 1967 at the Newport Jazz Festival f. e..
Buddy Rich is the greatest drummer who ever lived. Nobody comes close. Listen to his distinctive style with the art Tatum/Oscar Peterson Lionel Hampton material. Superb stuff with brushes and sticks and his ability to transition from a big band to snap. Group context. Similar situation with harp. He played musically with them not just back them up.
I played with a guy who was Buddy's pianist around 1969.He said Buddy wasn't crazy about the drums solo's.Did them because he knew it was the bread and butter but much prefered playing in the band.
That is so true. And that's the reason why my father had to keeping nagging me (as a little kid drummer) over a long period of time to get me to listen to his Buddy Rich albums! Thank goodness I finally did. Opened up a whole new world for me.
Wow, haven't seen Louie Nye since childhood. With, of course, the irrepressible BR; the softest, meanest, ambidextrous, kick-ass drummer of all. With his older seasoned band (1960s) before going young (1974). Good goin' cloudview747
Two heart attacks and still smoking cigarettes. At the rate and the speed he was playing no wonder his heart was out of beat. However, despite his health issues, Buddy died 20 years later,after that this show was taped and aired out in 1967
Hate those camera special effects. Mike Douglas Show had a real penchant for those when Buddy was doing a solo. He's playing a Rogers metal Dynasonic snare which sounds great. I had one and would get it sounding great when playing loud but had no snare response near the edge. My Rogers Powertone wood shell snare (made in 1966) sounded awesome at all dynamic levels.
I'm up there workin my balls off and you guys sound like a bunch of f**kin children ! You've got a long way to go! One more clam and you're all fired. Get off the f**kin bus!
ericynot It had EVERYTHING to do with why he was dead at 69 from congestive heart failure. Buddy Rich was in complete denial and total ignorance of his self made heart disease which finally killed him from congestive heart failure in 1987, after his brain tumor operation and he was still smoking all those years, not just in 1967. He said on the Tonight Show that he believed about his heart attacks ( he had two): "I believe it's all mental", which, of course, is bullshit and just the rationalization of the misinformed to continue eating the wrong high saturated fat foods- he ate what he wanted- and continue cigarette smoking and lack of aerobic exercise. No, being a black belt in marshal arts is not aerobic exercise, it's stop and go and does almost nothing for the heart.
I met Ernie Watts one morning..waiting for an Amtrak train going to Chicago...from Michigan...He said he was playing the annual FREE Jazz Fest there...
Great drum solo. Do you have a slo-mo version of this? Also, a slo-mo version of the Boston Pops solo? Someone said that is not actually a press roll. If RUclips has a slo-mo button on Android Lollipop, I don't see it. Thanks for all the great BR stuff.
I think you are getting me, Cloudview, mixed up with my "buddy" Norbert. But that's okay, Norbert and I are both on the same page when it comes to RUclips and the importance of Buddy's legacy.
Could have done without the "psychedlic" video effects during Buddy's snare drum solo. Whomever commented below that he was "nerd asshole" has no clue as to how the drums are played.
Roy ... you were correct! Buddy actually left Rogers in 1967, and is still playing them here, but with the 1966 Fibes snare drum that he really liked! Shortly after this he went over to Trixon/VOX. That was pretty short lived even though they were paying him a handsome stipend to play those drums. Right after he split Trixon/VOX he played a full set of Fibes COF and stayed with those 'till the end of the year. ALL of that happened in 1967. In 1968 he went with Slingerland, and there he stayed 'till 1978 when he went BACK to Ludwig .. ( and for the third time! ) ..!
Yes! I had the opportunity to hear Ernie with Doc Severinsen's traveling big band, a few years after Carson retired. Ernie was fabulous, and was featured quite a bit in that concert.
Back In Those Days You Didn’t Have To Smoke Cigarettes 🚬 The Clubs Where Filled With Smoke 💨 You Would Come Home Smelling Like Cigarettes 🚬 Smoke Even If You Didn’t Smoke 💨
Buddy is one of the all time great drummers ever but i saw a comment he made on another Mike Douglas show where the comments were disabled. He was stating basically that country music was boring and consists of two chords and something to the likes if he had to listen to Glen Campbell he would vomit.. First of all Glen may have wrote some cheesy country pop tunes in his day but Glen was no slouch musician by any means and i think he was wrong for saying that not that it really matters now but.. I saw several performances on you tube of Glen Campbell and he could shred the guitar... I think country can be boring and commercial for sure but when it comes down to good grooving country i happen to enjoy a good chicken picking as much as i love a good soul groove or even a jazz chord comp..
It was Definitely Glen Campbell on that specific interview. And yes Chet was the man! Give Me and Chet a listen with Jerry Reed. Great album.. All music is good you just gotta sift through a lot of junk to find the right stuff! Buddy was a cocky Douche!! Love the mans Chops tho!
I would like to believe that in his later years (the 1980s) when Buddy mellowed, he might have looked back at that particular interview and regretted what he said.
Rich's control is what made him so unique, how he could make them accents pierce through so well at those high speeds, its really something special just dont see that level of ability today.
I have wondered about what you are saying actually. In other words, how would Buddy respond if you got him alone and asked him specific questions about the technical stuff. I wonder how much Buddy, in his mind, analyzed or thought about the technical details of his playing?
cloudview747 I think it was all natural to him. I remember reading that he would hire drummers to play through a drum part on a song once and he would have it in his brain ready to play. From there I'm guessing he added his own personal touches
Yes -- indeed -- the paralysis of analysis -- Or -- anal...lysis, see? --- "The centipede was happy, while the frog said in fun, 'Which leg, please, comes after which? This raised her doubts to such a fever pitch, she fell confounded in the ditch, not knowing how to run' ". ---
The BR discography by Doug Meriwether has the following line up for the band as of June 15, 1967: Chuck Findley, John Sottile, Yoshito Murakami, Oliver Mitchell (tp) Jim Trimble, John Boice (tb), Bob Brawn (b-tb) Ernie Watts, Jimmy Mosher (as/fl), Jay Corre (ts/fl), Bob Keller (ts), Meyer Hirsh (bar) Ray Starling (p), Dick Resnicoff (g), Jimmy Gannon (b) There is also a note that between July 2 & July 27, Russ Turner Jr replaced Ray Starling on piano
Yeah,thankyou so much for your time .I was wondering whether the guitarist was Walt Namuth who played on the "Mercy, mercy mercy " album and played good rocking jazz/ rock solo on the title track..Dick Resnicoff is not known to me but I shall certainly look him up.Again,thanks for your time !
well, you can go back to Sydney and do.. whatever it is you do down there. If I catch you tonight with the f***kin' beard I'll throw you off the bandstand!
Absolute master drumming technique. Can't imagine anyone playing the same licks any better. Utterly flawless!
I too cannot imagine, nor have I heard, anyone play the same licks better. Buddy was so very special.
wish i had that ride cymbal, i could swing like crazy, its the perfect cymbal to ride and crash, buddy swings and shuffles so good, love him so much 🥁

2 heart attacks and still smoking, Buddy Rich didn't fear death he dealt with his mortality on his own terms.
it's common sense really. He was the epitome of it. we are here a limited amount of time, may as well do your thing.
He died 4/2 1987’
People loved their cigarettes back in the day.

What an indefatigable mindset, coming off a convalescence like that but fearlessly plunging into the next performance. One tough SOB.
He da man! Lucky to have seen him live 10-15 times!
I saw him many times too. Wonderful memories!
BUDDY RICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE DRUMMER AND I REMEMBER A COMMENT HE MADE WHERE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE POOR QUALITY OF THE DRUMMERS TODAY AND HE SAID THE YOUNG DRUMMERS DON'T LISTEN TO THE OLDER DRUMMERS OTHERWISE THEY WOULD BE BETTER DRUMMERS.
OKAY WE GOT IT LOUD AND CLEAR! :D
A true icon, failure was not in his vocab. My all time hero.
:-)
Such class,slick, nobody can play like Buddy Rich, I love his feeling driving it towards the end of the song, he definitely had the lope thing happening.

That Rogers kit. It sounds like a dream.
Pretty sure that is his Fibes snare with the Rogers kit, unusual at this time to be playing Rogers after his disagreement with CBS. Drums sound great and inspired me to get a set which I still have. He used the Rogers Swiv O matic foot pedal for the rest of his career. This clip gives you a glimpse of how great his foot action was. He was one of a kind, thanks for posting the clip.
You could be right. The snare drum does not sound like a traditionally wood or metal drum :)
Based on the lugs, the snare could be a Fibes fiberglass snare, which was his favorite snare for many years and which lead to him being fired by Slingerland (or quitting). The story is Slingerland caught him using the Fibes snare, and he asked (dared) them to make a snare as good, they invited him to the factory to try the snares they made for him, and none were any good (according to him), and so he dropped Slingerland and went out and bought a kit with his own money (which could explain the Rogers kit in this video).

Indeed he can.

Yes!!
In retrospect, Buddy's best sound was on Roger's drums.
Have heard that a few times!
2 + HEART ATTACKS AND HE CONTINUES 2 SMOKE !!
@@rayjr62 Buddy smoked a ton of weed!
Yup....every day I heard
Replying to General
his band better not hit a clam or they'll all be fired
luv the 60's good stuff 4:60
I like his character. He funny lmao
Buddy had a heart attack, but his still smoking?
That could have something to do with why he was dead at 69.
It was 1967. Millions of Americans were still in denial about cigarette smoking.
ericynot It had EVERYTHING to do with why he was dead at 69 from congestive heart failure. Buddy Rich was in complete denial and total ignorance of his self made heart disease which finally killed him from congestive heart failure in 1987, after his brain tumor operation and he was still smoking all those years, not just in 1967. He said on the Tonight Show that he believed about his heart attacks ( he had two): "I believe it's all mental", which, of course, is bullshit and just the rationalization of the misinformed to continue eating the wrong high saturated fat foods- he ate what he wanted- and continue cigarette smoking and lack of aerobic exercise. No, being a black belt in marshal arts is not aerobic exercise, it's stop and go and does almost nothing for the heart.
Tysons Accosta And millions of very stupid Americans died from cigarette smoking, many still smoking even AFTER they came down with emphysema.
Pretty sad. Yet he was still playing at an insane level.
Thank You, I bet your a Buddy Rich, Historian.....🥁👍
No not really. But a mega Buddy Rich fan for sure!
@@cloudview747 Yeah He Was Something Very Special!😇
Of course Ernie Watts was great, but I also liked the first solo by the other tenor player as well (whoever he is).
Very smooth and good phrasing.
I met Ernie Watts one morning..waiting for an Amtrak train going to Chicago...from Michigan...He said he was playing the annual FREE Jazz Fest there...
1st Soloist... Jay Corre
How was the tox screen result from that “split muscle”? Did the Dr. recommend more blow?
You can actually hear the guitar for a bit.
I think the audience claps during a drum solo when they have had enough.
Great drum solo. Do you have a slo-mo version of this? Also, a slo-mo version of the Boston Pops solo? Someone said that is not actually a press roll. If RUclips has a slo-mo button on Android Lollipop, I don't see it.
Thanks for all the great BR stuff.
Sorry I don't know anything about Android Lollipop. I just view YT videos on my home computer, and go to Settings > Speed > and select .75 or .50 etc.
he should have been part of the Rat Pack ...what a great entertainer too as well as a maestro
I agree!
buddy's a cool cat...cool cat.....
Norbert strikes again! (And Buddy strikes again with a Rogers/Fibes hybrid)
I think you are getting me, Cloudview, mixed up with my "buddy" Norbert. But that's okay, Norbert and I are both on the same page when it comes to RUclips and the importance of Buddy's legacy.
cloudview747 my bad
The title may have been rotten, but the performance certainly wasn't.
No doubt!
Is that Ernie Watts in the sax section? I'm not too crazy about Buddy's music. But I used to watch Mike Douglas in the 70s.
Yep, that's Ernie!
Back when smoking was approved by 9 out of 10 Doctors. Lol!!
buddy says in another video, " glen campbell is the wayne newton of country music "... very funny.
Buddy guy's musical works..was fantastic! Too bad he treated the muscians he worked with poorly.
Yeah,, buddy had a heart attack and he,s still gunning cigs!
The first sax solo is by Jay Corre, right?
Yes!!
Could have done without the "psychedlic" video effects during Buddy's snare drum solo. Whomever commented below that he was "nerd asshole" has no clue as to how the drums are played.
8:23 for sax wonderfulness
ROGERS , like SLINGERLAND, another great brand gone.
Music starts at 5:45
Ernie Watts on alto
Using Rogers in 1967.
I thought he used them from 1960-66, then used Trixon and Fibes in 1967.
Obviously not !
Roy ... you were correct! Buddy actually left Rogers in 1967, and is still playing them here, but with the 1966 Fibes snare drum that he really liked! Shortly after this he went over to Trixon/VOX. That was pretty short lived even though they were paying him a handsome stipend to play those drums. Right after he split Trixon/VOX he played a full set of Fibes COF and stayed with those 'till the end of the year. ALL of that happened in 1967. In 1968 he went with Slingerland, and there he stayed 'till 1978 when he went BACK to Ludwig .. ( and for the third time! ) ..!
Ernie Watts on alto?
Yes! I had the opportunity to hear Ernie with Doc Severinsen's traveling big band, a few years after Carson retired. Ernie was fabulous, and was featured quite a bit in that concert.
And he sits there smoking a tab. Maybe someone should have mentioned the uh... Link between smoking and being dead.
“ Better Wig “ here
24×14 kick. Yeah..
What do you call a guy that hangs around musicians?
A drummer
Everyone is entitled to their opinion most definitely. But wow. You and I are on opposite ends of the spectrum on this point.
@@cloudview747
Relax it's an OLD joke among musicians. Buddy was one of the best...an asshole but still a great player.
Back In Those Days You
Didn’t Have To Smoke Cigarettes
🚬 The Clubs Where Filled With Smoke 💨 You Would Come Home Smelling Like Cigarettes 🚬 Smoke
Even If You Didn’t Smoke 💨
That's true.
Smoking wasn't bad for his heart
im niot surprise , he was always so hyper and hi pressured. almost manic
Yes! and you get the sense that you could say something wrong at any moment to set him off. Amazing artist with an equally savory personality.
not a good person at all.
Buddy is one of the all time great drummers ever but i saw a comment he made on another Mike Douglas show where the comments were disabled. He was stating basically that country music was boring and consists of two chords and something to the likes if he had to listen to Glen Campbell he would vomit.. First of all Glen may have wrote some cheesy country pop tunes in his day but Glen was no slouch musician by any means and i think he was wrong for saying that not that it really matters now but.. I saw several performances on you tube of Glen Campbell and he could shred the guitar... I think country can be boring and commercial for sure but when it comes down to good grooving country i happen to enjoy a good chicken picking as much as i love a good soul groove or even a jazz chord comp..
I think it was Chet Atkins actually who he mentioned (who is a damn virtuoso guitar player) unless this was another anti-country rant.
It was Definitely Glen Campbell on that specific interview. And yes Chet was the man! Give Me and Chet a listen with Jerry Reed. Great album.. All music is good you just gotta sift through a lot of junk to find the right stuff! Buddy was a cocky Douche!! Love the mans Chops tho!
I would like to believe that in his later years (the 1980s) when Buddy mellowed, he might have looked back at that particular interview and regretted what he said.
Glenn didn’t write , but what a guitarist and singer.
no one on the planet can pull off his technique!
Definitely how I feel about it. Are there other great drummers? Certainly. But Buddy was O.O.A.K - One of a Kind.
Rich's control is what made him so unique, how he could make them accents pierce through so well at those high speeds, its really something special just dont see that level of ability today.

Not that any of you are wrong, but if you were to talk to Buddy about all of the technical stuff he would be like, "Huh?"
I have wondered about what you are saying actually. In other words, how would Buddy respond if you got him alone and asked him specific questions about the technical stuff. I wonder how much Buddy, in his mind, analyzed or thought about the technical details of his playing?
cloudview747 I think it was all natural to him. I remember reading that he would hire drummers to play through a drum part on a song once and he would have it in his brain ready to play. From there I'm guessing he added his own personal touches
Yes -- indeed -- the paralysis of analysis -- Or -- anal...lysis, see?

Anyone know the line up of the band ?
The BR discography by Doug Meriwether has the following line up for the band as of June 15, 1967:
Chuck Findley, John Sottile, Yoshito Murakami, Oliver Mitchell (tp)
Jim Trimble, John Boice (tb), Bob Brawn (b-tb)
Ernie Watts, Jimmy Mosher (as/fl), Jay Corre (ts/fl), Bob Keller (ts), Meyer Hirsh (bar)
Ray Starling (p), Dick Resnicoff (g), Jimmy Gannon (b)
There is also a note that between July 2 & July 27, Russ Turner Jr replaced Ray Starling on piano
Yeah,thankyou so much for your time .I was wondering whether the guitarist was Walt Namuth who played on the "Mercy, mercy mercy " album and played good rocking jazz/ rock solo on the title track..Dick Resnicoff is not known to me but I shall certainly look him up.Again,thanks for your time !
@@djangorheinhardt 👍
Ernie watts!!! (-:
After Carson quit I saw Ernie live playing in Doc's traveling Big Band. I was seated right up front very close to the band. It was great!
Is that Jack Benny?
No. Louis Nye.
Buddy smoking away while talking about his heart condition.😞
I know. Not good.

Buddy died 4/2 1987’
Pre Steve Marcus era.
Buddy was an iron man!! He succumbed to a brain tumor in 1987.

well, you can go back to Sydney and do.. whatever it is you do down there. If I catch you tonight with the f***kin' beard I'll throw you off the bandstand!
Too funny
