- Bernard "Buddy" Rich was an American jazz drummer, songwriter, conductor, and bandleader. Clearly a genius, but there was another side to him. This is his biography

A musician friend of mine with inside knowledge about Buddy Rich said that his orchestra consisted primarily of young players who simply wanted to put in their time for their resumes. After every concert, they expected their regular chewing out (aka "being cussed out") for 20 minutes after getting on the bus to leave for the next gig.
I watched the The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson every night, just so I could catch one of his guest appearances. Johnny Carson kept bringing him back as a guest to help Buddy's waning career because America was losing interest in big bands. Buddy was always extremely sarcastic to Johnny and everybody else on the show and yet, Johnny kept bringing him back. Buddy is primarily responsible for my interest in jazz drumming, in spite of his "Brooklyn attitude".
Buddy is the only drummer from this era that I ever heard anything negative about. Louis Bellson, Papa Jo Jones, Gene Krupa, Joe Morello and others were very positive in every way and would only say good things about Buddy. From what I understand, Buddy was respectful to other drummers who played on his level.
Overall, it was either "Buddy's way or the highway" for his band members.
Buddy's career was NOT waning when Carson began having him on. His big band helped to reenergize interest in contemporary big jazz ensembles. Carson idolized Rich as a drummer and gladly have him on, and your views on "sarcasm" toward Johnny and show staff don't seem to get it. Carson expected a poor man's Rickles out of Rich, and he always got it.
Sounds like a perfectionist, and that's why he was one of the greatest.
I have this joke with my wife when she says "No one is perfect" and I always give her the same answer "WRONG ,Buddy Rich was " LOL
I got to see him a couple times with his big band. Absolutely phenomenal! In 1974 I got to speak to him for a few minutes. He was a gentleman.
I heard that the feud he had with Sinatra was so bad that Frank got a couple friends to beat Rich up.
You did a good documentary! Thanks
Had no time for non-perfection. Pure genius!!
If the boss tells you to shave your beard, you shave your beard.
