"I own well over 20 Buddy Rich cd's and this stands out as the most listened to by me. The solos are amazing. "Time Being" is in my opinion the best song on the album with the greatest drum solo I have ever heard!! Buddy is a living, breathing metronome.
I would compare the solo to a machine gun toward the end. Very aggressive drumming. My heart races when I hear the track. I would say every "real" Buddy Rich fan must own this title, and a new comer to the worldof the amazing Buddy should be introduced tthrough this cd. Long live Buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

World's Greatest Drummer? Could Be...

"When it came to technique, speed, power, and the ability to put together incredible drum solos, Buddy Rich lived up to the billing of "the world's greatest drummer." Although some other drummers were more innovative, in reality none were in his league even during the early days. In 1966, Buddy Rich beat the odds and put together a successful big band that would be his main outlet for his final 20 years. His heart began giving him trouble starting in 1983, but Rich never gave his music less than 100 percent and was still pushing himself at the end. A perfectionist who expected the same from his sidemen. This CD displays much of his talent. Puts death metal drummers to shame."

Great find!

"all i knew about buddy rich was that he played the drums & used to be on the tonight show with bad hair a long time ago. I've been on a big band kick lately and saw this cd listed cheap so i thought, "the price is right, give mr. rich a try." well, wow! this is a powerhouse of a recording. I enjoyed it immensely and highly, highly recommend it. there is some music hear that is as much jazz-rock fusion as it is big band jazz, and that's fine. i consider this a permanent household item now. pure energy to be unleashed whenever a dose is needed."
