Buddy Rich Mexicali Nose

[Gregsok]

Playing the drum part for this song would be hard as hell.

[nealbfinn]

Mike Price is lead tpt. Looks like Bruce Paulson on lead bone. Altos are Quinn Davis on lead and Richie Cole is 2nd. Don Englert is tenor 2 and Joseph Calo baritone.

[Easleytee]

Chick Webb drove his band as hard if not stronger than Buddy.

Do your homework.

nice work by Pat Lababera on the tenor!

[coraz0n]

i watched this guy over 2000times ... im still like WTF!

[brokeandhungryxx]

best video on the net

[snowfeather13]

It's so great to see all these videos of the master at work, making it look so effortless! I saw Buddy only few times in person in the early 70's.I actually played opposite him, I'm embarrassed to say, during a gig at Bachelor's 3 in Ft. Lauderdale! It seems like it was a dream. Anyway, keep those videos coming...they are awesome!!

why is this song called mexicali nose?

[leon1942]

@oliverbasslol164

I have never heard anything about the origin of the title but would assume that it is a play on the title "Mexicali Rose".

[Blobbert1229]

it's sad, today the "naked bros. band are more popular than these guys, and their job requires 1/1000000000 of the talent that it takes to be able to play like this. I wud know i play trumpet, and the notes that these guys reach are truly the "talk of the town"

[Blobbert1229]

How does this only have 10627 views? This deserves like 50x that, it is FREAKING AWESOME!

[jazzcrazy727875299]

is that still Dave Stahl on lead?

[jazzcrazy727875299]

on second thought it's not. not the right sound.

[brian740]

@jazzcrazy727875299

It's Mike Price on lead.

[rdangelo]

@jazzcrazy727875299 no, too early. Maybe Mike Price.

Great music....Thanks for posting...

[trombandy]

amazing!

does anybody know if this music is available (sheet music)?

[JLRappa]

AMAZING!

[werehavinaparty]

I always felt this song would be a great TV show opener.

I can hear it used for something like an "Hawaii 5-0", "Streets of San Francisco", etc.

brian

i would love to see buddy and his band playing ruth!

no doubt that would have brought the audience to their feet!

and me too!

[beedoe51]

NOBODY but NOBODY drove a big band like this man!

[63Brummie]

@beedoe51

You need to listen to Sonny Greer mate, then Papa Jo...who do you think Buddy learned from?

This being said I ADORE THEM ALL... RIP BUDDY, Sonny, MAX, ELVIN, Gene et al.

[marantz79]

A four bar solo like no other.

[MarkR1957]

Actually, Buddy's solo breaks in this chart are 8 bars ~

[amborg]
