Buddy Rich "Uncle Albert" pt1(watch pt2 also)

[TheTblues]

That is Ray Ricker not Bob Martin on 2nd. Alto and Brian Grivna's 1st. night on Lead Alto after Richie Cole left suddenly.

cool - what year would this have been? looks like early 70s from buddy's hair cut, which means Uncle Albert would have been on the radio at the time

@grubbybean This is 1973!  Thanks :)

This was in Rochester. Notice Greg's circular breathing? I also heard he was a fine baseball player when I was at Berklee.

Greg Hopkins is the flugelhorn soloist and also arranged the chart.

[beedoe51]

Yeah, it's a great chart. This was one of Buddy's best bands. Thanks...

[amycristobal]

You're so lucky.

[beedoe51]

I got to see his band in 1979. I'll never forget it! Buddy's death in 1987 was a loss to the world

[amycristobal]

This is great music! Wish I could watch this band,live.

Love the chart. Very creative and free. Buddy plays it perfectly as always.
