For those of you who 'bag' on this song, and the flute soloist, you are not sure of what you speak of. Buddy Rich and his Band were known in the 70's as an 'Attack Band'..........hard driving and tons of energy that went non-stop. One of Buddy's heroes was the impeccable Count Basie. This song is a tribute to the Bluesy Count Basie Band and is therefore bluesy and slow with rhythm thrown in. How often do you get to see a flute solo that has rhythm and blues mixed in? A change of pace.

One can say whatever about the dude, but the level went up with him.
Fantastic listening!
An incredible song, but an over the top flute solo that just blows one away............no pun intended.
Trombone solo is John Leys. Flute solo is Don Englert. He left the band not long after this
No it's a fellow named Greg Hopkins. He was on the band from 71 to 74
Buddy's face when that waitress walks in front of the camera near the beginning... Flawless, just like his drumming and many editions of his bands.
Who does that flautist think he is - Ian Anderson? Good stuff!
the bass bone solo has such smooth tone, it could pass for a tenor.
Haha wicked awesome flute solo. Kind of random though :)
1:41 is when it happens!!!!!
id like to hear all that commented this actually play as well as them. seriously, its immature to bash on good players.
Bass player better gitit together quick! & get that chart out.
One of my Fav.tracks

mangione= flugal horn.
