Because of this greatest drummer, and his 'Big Band Machine' I'm able to play drums again, after 8.5 years of Cancer, and all the Hell that goes with it. I just kept watching/listening to Buddy, and the band, and finally, plus alot help from God, got my spark back!!!!!!!!

So happy to hear your story.congrats and stay strong and play your ass off! Buddy will always be a major inspiration. Let's hear you sometime. Keep in touch with all on the tube man!

I would argue this is the definitive recording of the Oliver Nelson arrangement of “In a Mellow Tone.” Solid sax soli, probably the best solo I’ve ever heard played over this song by the great Al Grey, amazing trumpet solo by Greg Gisbert(19yo here btw), sublime lead playing by Eric Miyashiro with some fantastic and very tasteful high notes, and of course a very energized performance by Buddy Rich. Doesn’t get much better than that.

Yeah that's Buddy kickin it @ 68 years old... There will never be another like him. Jazz is the best and one of the most difficult to play..

It’s amazing how Al Grey elevated the whole band’s mood while showing em (and us) how it’s done. Buddy was one with every soloist’s mind, but Al really put him in the zone. I’m sure they were both thinking of Papa Jo...

Papa Joe and Al were two of buddies favorite musicians!!!

Did you ever see such a happy bunch of guys on one bandstand? This is gold. Pure Gold ~

Buddy really high on the band, loving it.His phrasing and dynamics are just so immaculate, to say nothing of his dynamite fills..how to drive a big band.

Never seen Buddy smile so much. Great stuff!!

More talent on that stage than the entire last 30 years of music performers added together 🤷 just phenomenal music and crafted musicianship. All of them are amazing. I'm highlighting Eric Myashiro who blows a trumpet 🎺 like nobody else (with the exception of Maynard that is).

That kick at 10:43 with the bone player is absurdly tight. The crowd knew it too.

Yes it was. The great thing about jazz is that those motifs happen in the moment. You can’t force them. Also did you catch the rhapsody in blue lick Al Grey inserted in the solo and the bands reaction? This is why I love jazz so much. You bring to the gig your own story. You study, you listen, and you speak into the moment that which makes the whole larger.

Eric on lead Trumpet rocks it !!!

3:18 Love the Rhapsody in Blue quote

Buddy and his Band, THIS is Music with Class!!!!!!!

Nobody will ever swing like Buddy again, it hardly seems possible that he can do it so well. He was a virtuoso.

Fantastic listening! Buddy always had an exciting band

Love how all the guys in the band love and appreciate All Grey's playing. He was truly a super bone player of his era..crap, he sounded great in this era as well.

Had to revisit this show after watching Greg Gisbert play last night (1/8/2022) with Roberta Gambarini. Really nice muted work last night, and enjoyed the solo here at around 4:10 into it. GO Jazz!

Was enjoying this until Al Grey came out of nowhere... Then I was LOVIN' IT!!

What a tasteful ending to that first tune.

Hot swinging Mr Rich as usual...great :-)

Quel pied les amis , Al Grey "what is it " wonderfull , j'en pleurerais ..... Les maitres du swing . Merci encore mille fois

the trombone player was Al Grey

Look at those young guys! Kids!

Holy Eric Miyashiro! Loved all the solos, especially Al Grey. Too bad no Steve Marcus solos on this recording.

Qué maravilla. ¡Los escucharía todo el día!

Al Grey was 61 in this video, and Greg and Eric were about 22,23.

Il genio!

Meraviglia😊

Crazy good of course but, In a Mellow Tone is just killer....everyone in good spirits and blowing with energy and good vibes!

Eric Miyashiro on lead trumpet. He would have been 22 or 23 then.

Maravilha!

Nice Al Grey solo!

5:57 it's an exquisite moment

I wonder what Buddy thought the very first time he heard Eric hit all those high notes? Was he just another trumpet player going through the band or did he know right away..."this kid is a cut above"? Eric and Greg just making the entire Brass section shine!

BR's last European tour and the cat could still swing like that. WhoooAaaaaaa!!!!

Buddy rich was a big influence for me, among other jazz greats. Max Roach, Louie Bellson, Papa Joe Jones, Art Blakey, Tony Williams.

They'd also put up with him browbeating them if they had a bad night, or for that matter if Buddy was just feeling cranky. Established guys wouldn't. Plus, the young kids probably worked cheaper.

Evolution suppose to be for the good. Why the musicians today evolved into misguided, noise makers?. I call this phenomenon (The reverse-evolution). Just truly documented facts I' m innocent. I love to observe how Mankind is approaching to it's end!
