Buddy Rich - 1977 - The Greatest Drummer That Ever Lived... The Best Band I Ever Had
24 bit 88.2 KHz SACD rip

Although the title of this reissue is not necessarily accurate (Buddy Rich's 1966 big band was a stronger unit), this is a high-quality jazz album. Rich surprisingly does not solo much (just on Chick Corea's "Fiesta") but the material is strong, the arrangements (by Mike Abene, Frank Perowsky, Tom Boros, Barry Keiner and Barry Mintzer) are colorful, and the soloists are excellent. The 15-piece Buddy Rich big band features Steve Marcus on tenor and soprano, Gary Pribek on tenor, pianist Barry Keiner and trumpeter Dean Pratt and the songs include inventive versions of "Birdland," "Bouncin' with Bud" and Horace Silver's "Cape Verdean Blues." The only weak point to this set is that the playing time is only around 40 minutes since this is a straight reissue of a former LP. Recommended. (AllMusic)

Track list:
01. Birdland
02. Bouncin' With Bud
03. Cape Verdean Blues
04. Fiesta
05. Funk City Ola

Enjoy and share!
