@lokrijger Not sure what you're asking. Yes, recording studios had microphones. But most recordings to be released in 1943 were recorded on wax discs. The sound engineer would brush away the wax from the grooves being laid down by the recording arm. Actually, I'm thinking this was not recorded in 1943, but in the 1950;s. The lighting and kinescope and the microphone itself look 1950s-ish. If you're asking about guys named Mike, well yeah. Good question, friend.

Some of these comments are screwed up about Buddy's playing. People say Buddy over played? These people are not drummers. There is no one who could come close to Buddy's combination of pyrotechnics, timing, balance, and control. The best ever, end of story.

@duganreno Zoot Simms and Tony Bennett recorded a great album together! They do a song titled I'm Coming Virginia that was absolutely great!

Was Buddy the World's Greatest Drummer? Watch this and then tell me.....If he wasn't, he was close enough.....

@rfvee The man was a genius... :)
Ray lived at our house in Vegas for a while around this time. My dad was Red Kelly, playing the bass here. Dad, Buddy and Jack Perciful on the piano made up the greatest rhythm section in jazz! And as good as Ray was, his brother Zoot was just as great! I lived backstage during this time! What a great bunch of musicians!

@BrunoJazzmanLeicht Could NOT agree with you more on the life quality comment regarding Harry James and Buddy Rich. This clip truly referenced a time of supreme talent and ultimate class, made so obvious by today's lack of both.
