Thanks for posting this. I remember the "Big Bands from the Dorchester" series, enjoying watching it with my dad and in particular this one with the master drummer Buddy Rich. I didn't think there were such things as VCRs back then, how did you record it? I wonder if the programmes are available somehow. Why don't the beeb and others share their treasury of great music?

[mikebuddy1]

I recorded this on reels to reels (audio)

did'nt have vcr then.Got a copy from my drum teacher many yrs.ago.I'm pretty sure the beeb have most of these recordings archived.But to get them to re-air them is something else,however we live in hope.i also hev the Kenton one & the Herman one & the basie one (on tape)

[ludwig222]

wow! You have that in color!I have it in B&W.

Love Buddys Donny Osmond pin !

[mikebuddy1]

Yea,it was transmitted in color as were all the series.(i have kenton,Herman)don't have basie.Buddy loved to slag off the Osmonds.

I have just finished adding new audio track over video to Time Check,will upload soon.Cheers ludwig222

Yeah, Buddy said the Osmonds had no talent, when in fact, most of them are multi-instrumentalists; and pretty darn good at that. They just didn't play jazz. Unfortunately, this seems to be malady with a lot of jazz purists who take a high-minded attitude with other musicians of genres such as pop, rock, hip-hop, rap, etc. Especially since these other genre's are so much more popular and make millions (billions?) more than all the jazz musicians in the World.

@luisamarte2000 because money after all means EVERYTHING! don't argue I know I'm right

[phase901]

That's called selling-out and part masses-R-asses marketing ! I don't think many people will be listening to Kiss in 40 years! Matter-of-fact I guaratnee it!

mikebuddy1!... This is GREAT in color. I have a couple copies of this in B&W, one of them is MINT in audio and video. Anyway, Bob Crea's solo on this just KILLS... ( tenor sax ) ... THAT is how you blow over blues changes!, and Buddy just lays in the shuffle feel without effort. I caught BR three times in 1973 and have to say that YES!, this was a KILLER band. Agreed by the way, his crash cymbal stands were NEVER higher than they are here, plus a lot more "angle" on his rack tom too!
