wow, drums and books = perfect match. lately, i like my results when exercising hand-feet coordination with reading a book at the set. you can go for long hours with that, you just need food and drinks around. ;)
It seemed Buddy rarely used guitar players in his band.This is about the only video i can recall with a guitar. It works for the tune and it was probably from the 70's when rock was so strong.
Lorister, Thank you for replying; I knew John in boston back in the 1960's. He was definitely a great guy, and great musician! So sorry to hear of his passing.
@lorister I also knew John and considered him my best friend. We were in the USAF Band in Panama together. A wonderful person and a wonderful musician. I still miss him. Bill
Hey Maxx good thing Leys is /was your teacher. He's a very good guy. I've counted him as a friend for over twenty years. Hopefully I will be able to get some video eventually that has both John and I playing in big bands. We wind up playing in the same groups fairly often these days. I just have to get someone to watch the camera. John's wife Beverly would be perfect to watch the gear.
It's really nice that Buddy gave Jimmy Bruno that much room to really stretch out and play. He must have only been in his early twenties, and you can already hear he was a monster.
Does that first bone soloist have a beard????.....I thought Buddy didn't like bone players with beards. I have a copy of that old cassette recording with him tearing into an Aussie bone player for growing one.
We're planning to. There's other clips from the this concert in my collection. Check out: "Double Time (+ bonus footage of Buddy Rich)" and "Backwoods Sideman" as well.
notice how the base player comes in to early, Buddy is not to happy..follow the leader at all times..love this video..the crowed are a bit quite on the night but a nice gig none the less..Thats Buddys famous " i hate Donny Osmond" badge hes waring on his jacket.got him in trouble now and again.
I remember when this show was first broadcast on BBC2 in England. It was called "LIVE AT THE DORCHESTER" (as in The Dorchester Hotel, London.) It was actually broadcast in colour originally!
A beautiful song. What was the audience listening to?

John passed away while vacationing in Spain on July 14th, 2000.
He died of an anneurysm on the upper ascendant aorta. He was married and living in Wiesbaden Germany for twenty-two years prior to his death.
He worked in Frankfurt as a studio musician.
He was a great guy!

Greg Hopkins is the Bomb.
I just spent a week learning more about jazz from him and playing his epic arrangement of Sing Sing Sing.

It seems like the audiamce does not know what they're looking at or what to do. They did not clap after the solos and they seem a little confused.

pretty typical of any seated white audience anywhere, ever, no matter what the genre. that's just the way we (by which i include myself) are

No kidding?! Huh! I always thought the tape was a little grainy - probably a copy of a copy. I got the tape from Ray Anthony. He got it as an import.
