Buddy Rich: Big Swing Face

fretmeister

what an album!

I bought it on a whim, stuck it on and pottered around making a cuppa etc.

I only noticed it was a live recording after a few tunes. So damn tight!

Must be 30+ years since I saw him live. As he'd, famously, hire young musicians because they were cheap it looked like a school outing.

He was a real Animal. Buddy wasn't bad either.

Found Big Swing Face on streaming. Starts with Norwegian Wood which is the one song I particularly remember from the gig I went to - probably the only thing I recognised I guess, apart from his references to Carl Palmer ( ' Carl needs two bass drums to do this and I just need one...').

I like the Krupa & Rich album.
