Steve Marcus nailed it on Sax as well as Rich on drums. One of the rare times Rich was looking at another solo! RIP both of them - the best in their music.
I played pro sax for 15 years, albeit quite often in a big band set up, so that is my favorite style of Jazz...but Steve..he was so, so good..always on the money...the man..RIP
The first time I ever heard a big band performing was with Buddy and His big band machine February 20 1975 Fredonia state College I've seen him Tito puente and the Glenn Miller orchestra but he was the first one for it was a night to remember he performed a 10 minute solo that was off the charts one of the all time drumming and jazz greats RIP Buddy
There have been one zillion drummers that have come and gone only one drummer was the holy grail of drumming the man’s name was buddy rich enough said caseclosed
Why bing Ginger Baker onto it? He was an entirely different type of musician, absolutely great at what he did - but this isn’t an athletic meeting, they are not in competition.
@@eddiegalloway7089 - I have never seen any evidence of that - In all I've read and watched about Ginger Baker - which must be mostly everything out there - I have never seen any reliable evidence of this drum battle or Ginger not turning up. I am very keen to see some, though...
@SAHBfan Actually the drum battle challenge was with Elvin Jones, which I went along to, only to find it had been cancelled due to a Musicians' Union ruling. Ginger Baker' Airforce played the gig, with Elvin Jones peeking his head out watching from backstage. The drum battle was rescheduled some weeks later..
Forces of nature such as BR was are rare things. I am glad to have lived in the time when he was among us. All his live performances were memorable, at the very least.
Can't tell you how many times I've heard BR play this with many different personnel...This is a great rendition....Tune never gets old...Both my brothers were part of the Killer Force band...
Buddy, Buddy Buddy. Your talent is unmatched. Just watching you fly around that set is mind boggling. And adding Steve Marcus to the proceedings with his Sonny Rollins-like cadenzas was just too much. I agree though, inserting a commercial in the middle of Buddy’s solo was a sacrilege !!!
Putting an advert in the middle of the solo was an act of vandalism. Advertisers are so sensitive about not having their adverts on platforms that might support political or cultural positions they think might be unpopular- yet this thread is full of comments from people annoyed that they wrecked the performance- you’d think they’d have more sense…
This is SUPER! Reminds me of back in 1977 when I played bass in a large 18 piece showband which performed this song LIVE in concert: it was awesome, as were all of the rehearsal sessions for this Jazz Masterpiece.
I knew Chuck Schmidt at NTSU 1972-1975. He would practice in the McConnell Hall cafeteria in the evenings while most of us were watching movies. I several times asked him for a Double C. He would slur up from high C and it would cut through me LIKE A KNIFE! He had iron chops and his tone was extremely centered and pure.
Adverts in the middle of performances like this should be illegal. Simple as that! Just as Steve Marcus was about to get down and dirty on his solo, in comes an ad for washing powder🙈 Buddy wouldn't have approved either!🤣 What a performance though from Buddy and "the greatest band he ever had".

Wish there was a personnel list. Like that lead Trumpet at 5:00. His the cat second from the left neatly trimmed bear and wearing glasses. . Hint! To find the lead trumpet in a big band, When there's four trumpets? Look for the drummer. If, like in this case he's on the audience's left? Lead tpt is middle left. Or Drummer, a. B c d Lead trumpet is letter capital B formation. Always in the middle but closer to the drummer of the two. But what about when band is carrying five trumpets? Answer: always the cat kn the middle. Lead trumpet= Crucial member of the band. He's the workhorse. More so than the drummer.

Would like to have heard a bigger sound from lead trumpet at 5:00 and elsewhere. Of course the described line at five minutes does rise to Double C but it didn't project. Been better if he'd buried the microphone into his horn. That is an important lead phrase and it just wasn't happening.

I love Buddy Rich ...but the sax player - the way he made that sax scream... you can tell they were just in sync and Buddy was lovin it.
Name me one other drummer that can do this...then show them doing it. One of a kind. I met BR and will never forget it.
I not only met him but sat on his bus,talked with him and left with his autograph. A memory, I'll never forget.
Met Buddy several times through out the UK ...loved and miss him every day..😢
buddy rich punching the floor tom on his way back in after the tenor solo was so baller
The drum fill at 1:47 is just madness. Buddy closes his eyes just before he unleashes it too.
Unreal speed! Maybe fast as Bruce Lee was too except on drums.
I'm not sure anyone who has ever lived was born to do something more than Buddy was born to play the drums!
🙏❤🌹 Buddy 🌹❤ 🙏
Yeh man...shout out for Steve Marcus...what a player..ex pro Sax here in Military/Big Bands...he is the bollocks...always smashed it..
@@SiFiClark Absolutely! Every time I've heard Steve play, he's blown me away!!!

Jesus.
This is vintage Buddy Rich! His hands are like musical machine guns…..he and the band sound incredible
I absolutely love this version!! Outstanding live performance period!! 😮 Always loved this chart too.

A master at work, still in his prime, with a great band.. Buddy Rich was truly one of the yery best ever!

The first 2 mins is a masters class in virtuosity. Good grief!!!
Imagine poor old Ginger Baker trying to compete with that , no chance , Buddy's on a cosmic level in the art of drumming.
Why bing Ginger Baker onto it?
He was an entirely different type of musician, absolutely great at what he did - but this isn’t an athletic meeting, they are not in competition.
Because Ginger once challenged Buddy to a drum battle. But later backed out.

Brillante!!! magnifica presentacion. B. R. genio.
Incredible.

And Buddy REALLY knows how to throw out a "salvo" :o)
Kinda reminds me of the CIWS system on Navy ships (Phalanx),..and about as fast too.
No one can play like Buddy Rich ✡️✡️
Mind blowing
Dam Marcus looks so young
10:32 the most disgusting and most beautiful sax note ever played

How sick is that Hi-Hat work?
The brass section is exceptionally tight. The bones had a really nice blend too. This is post Bobby Shew. Rats
The bones are part of the “brass section”, if you want to phrase it that way. Really-trumpet section, trombone section, sax section, rhythm section.
As great is Buddy -this chart belongs to Steve Marcus !! The best big band tenor soloist Buddy ever had anda former college mate of mine at Berklee.
Marcus is top notch love him.. I'm a drummer that appreciates other band mates
Marcus is great - but listen to Don Menza's solo from 1969 (Menza wrote Channel One Suite...)

He was RIGHT on top of the beat. Did he ever have an off night?
The 2 saxophonists with the afro wigs trying to crack Buddy up... by 2:49 he's decided he won't laugh.
No kidding!
GOOGLE STOP BREAKING THE CONTINUITY FOR ADS
THE FACE 7:25 HAHAJA
I feel like this sounds like something you could expect from 1960s Marvel Productions' Soundtracks
It’s a mating call
I normally do not like buddy's playing because it's big-band music which i don't like but this is good.
ELP would loosely rearrange this as Tank.
hang on - Buddy starts using matched grip and not traditional!?
Buddy's band look like they're part of a yacht club or something??? With those suits??? Hahahahaha
It was the 1970s - this is tame for the era. Trust me - I lived through it.
Better than the Nehru jackets with the big medals
Ain’t nobody from the 2000’s gets to talk about fashion. This millennia still can’t pull its goddamned pants up.
The mid '60s bands looked like insurance salesmen.

My life is better cause I knew there people
Hey.. like your comments I was fortunate to see buddy throughout the seventies.. how about you
This is great but not as good as the original version.
Sax solo, though good, was overdone imo.
Anyone else here from Dyson's google classroom post?
Marcus overplayed. Don Menza and his iconic tenor solo owned this tune. Rich was brilliant.
That BUTTERY SMOOOOOTH buzz roll,...almost as smooth as his "whipped cream roll"
Buddy's buzzers don't have a pulse,..unless he wants them to. :o)
