Harry James Buddy Rich

[garysaddleback]

Well, folks . . . thanks to Pano for identifying this melody.

I'm just an amateur drummer, but I notice that Buddy Rich is using a fairly

"extended" stick, with a bottom grip in the right hand. In the left though, he seems to be defeating the purpose of a long stick by gripping nearly half-way down the shaft.

But I guess when you're immensely talented, you can play however you damn well please!

@garysaddleback I don't think stick length means much. Finding the balance of the stick is whats important.

[garysaddleback]

Well, folks . . . I consider myself something of a jazz expert, but I can't put a name to this tune . . . what is it?

@garysaddleback It's "Sunday Morning", by Neal Hefti. Hefti composed several movie soundtracks. Another version of "Sunday Morning" is here: watch?v=wrM2p153R98

The alto sax player is Joe Riggs

[countrad]

Buddy Rich is THE MAN!

[cadaverr]

Excellent tune. Love it.

[joeasmythe]

good point.

[duganreno]

Yes, that is dad (Red Kelly) on bass and Jack on piano. Jack wrote most of Harry's arrangements for almost 20 years or so.

[magicstereosound]

please the title.....of song

[thobbe]

That piano sounds like rhodes

[MrVocabell]

@Baco as far as I know this one is called "Sunday Morning". You can find it on the DOT-Lp "The New Harry James" .

And...yes it is Red Kelly on bass......

[bsbone54]

Trpts: Tony Scodwell, Tom Porrello, Sanford Skinner (?), Nick Bouno.

Trbs: Ray Sims, Joe Cadena, Dave Wheeler (BsT).

Saxes: Just recognize Joe Riggs with Harry, and Corky Corcoran on first tenor.

Rhythm: Looks like Red Kelly on bass, and Jack Perceval, piano.

Buddy Rich is awesome!

[duganreno]

@bsbone54 You got the line-up right on! That is my dad (Red) on bass. Jack and Buddy and dad made up what was considered the most powerful rhythm section in jazz.

[lionking6199zj]

@duganreno Please help me identify one band member...? Please, can you tell me the name of the Alto Sax player... at 02:37 - You were there, and I am hoping you can end a great family debate... this may/or may not be my uncle.

Your answer will be of great help... thank you.

[rmo52]

[joeasmythe]

Since the end of the Big Band Era, our country has headed downhill, I wish there was a way to go back to those years.

[awelliott]

Amen to that! On a personal note, it would pose a problem as I wasn't born until 1959. }8^D

[RicardoDowridge]

@joeasmythe There is a way to back in time.....its called Youtube....lol

[rayjr62]

@joeasmythe Shit, our country has never been the same since the passage of the Guacamole Act of 1912.

[richcapo]

@joeasmythe If I were a minority I wouldn't. Those weren't the good old days for our brothers of color.

[irish89055]

[Lengo67]

[nefynrules]

whats the name of this piece?

[MSmithjazz]

It's called "Sunday Morning" by Neal Hefti.

[Yamibooze]

Thanks, now all i need to do is get that good and get a score of it!!!

[ishredu]

the early/mid 60's harry james buddy and rogers drums don't get any better than this!!!

[MrZol]

i like buddy w/ rogers the best, then ludwig and slingerland last

[jazzthusiastic]

Hey, I personally think he did his most notable work behind a set of ludwig drum's, even though he specifically mentioned countless times his love for slingerland,he was pissed that slingerland made krupa their #1 poster boy, he seems more at home on ludwig, plus ludwig tried to offer him exclusivity, but he didn't follow thru, u can't confine talent like this!
