Not vintage rich, but good arrangements and great band ...

"This is not classic Buddy Rich. It is a rock/soul big band album with little smokin' jazz as B.R. is known for. However the arrangements are good and the band is great as Buddy's bands always were. Great solos and ensemble playing make the album really pretty good as long as you're not expecting "West Side Story" or "Channel One Suite" This is another of Buddy's live recordings on the World Pacific Jazz label, which in my opinion was his greatest recorded body of work. This isn't one of his classics, but necessary for the true Buddy Rich Big Band fan."
