- Arguably the greatest drummer of all time, the legendary Buddy Rich exhibited his love for music through a dedication of his life to the art. His career spanned seven decades, beginning when Rich was 18 months old and continuing until his death in 1987. Immensively gifted, Rich could play with remarkable speed and dexterity despite the fact that he never received a formal lesson and refused to practise outside his performances. In this 1978 concert, with maybe his best band ever, he shows how unique he is as a performer and bandleader. The show was recorded in 1978 during the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Congresgebouw, The Hague, the Netherlands.
Line up: Buddy Rich (Drums), Tom Warrington (Bass Guitar), Bob Kaye (Piano), John Marshall, Mike McGovern, Mark Ohlsen, Chuck Schmidt (Trumpets), Dale Kirkland, Glenn Franke, George Moran (Trombones), Steve Marcus, Gary Pribeck, Chuck Wilson, Andy Fusco, Greg Smith (Saxes)

the way he's eyeballing the horn section.. dang i feel stressed already
I was in a community big band that played this arrangement, and I'd like to offer my apology to all of the musicians in this band. We did our best!
I like how Buddy positioned himself right in front of the Ampeg. Usually an amp would face the audience. Another great arrangement! Although Rich was a hard taskmaster, it must be remembered that he played with Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Charlie Parker, Les Brown, Harry James to name a few. He knew excellence and demanded it from his players.
That soprano sax solo was fucking INSANE. I died, came back to life, died again, and that solo resurrected me and turned me into superman. It has the power!!!
If you're disappointed that he didn't take a long, flashy solo, this is a clinic on how to "set-up" a big band, and its brass section. His fills before the accents and how he uses the entire kit is brilliant, as usual, but really shines here. I studied with a guy who knew him very well, and said "his solos don't impress me as much as 'what he does' with his band.''' And he is an example.
A band of Mike Harding look a likes.
Wow, the bass player totally nails the Jaco licks. The soprano sax is amazing... Wayne Shorter would have been impressed. Buddy was clearly a Weather Report fan.
Holy crap! What a jam this turned out to be. A bunch of geek-lookin’ dudes are throwing DOWN. Buddy looks intense.
At the beginning I thought 'this bass player will be embarrassed by Jaco'. But no...the guy is fantastic.
Haha - better than Weather Report
"A letter, addressed "To the world's greatest drummer", arrives at the home of Louie Bellson. He takes one look at it, and says, "well, this is obviously not for me", and forwards it to Gene Krupa. Krupa also takes one look at it, and also says, "well, this is obviously not for me", and he forwards it as well.
My Mom lived in the same apartment building. Buddy did practice.
Bass player...awesome!
the always spectacular Steve Marcus, soprano sax like no one else ever

The horn section playing percussions is so funny 🥳🥳😂😂
As great as he was, I don't think I could have worked for Buddy.
I've never seen a drummer lead with such electrifying presence.
I have to give love to that bass player.
In this particular video the soprano sax solo was the star of the show. The performer made the sax sound like an electric guitar in a hard rock concert!
