Because of this greatest drummer, and his 'Big Band Machine' I'm able to play drums again, after 8.5 years of Cancer, and all the Hell that goes with it. I just kept watching/listening to Buddy, and the band, and finally, plus alot help from God, got my spark back!!!!!!!!
So happy to hear your story.congrats and stay strong and play your ass off! Buddy will always be a major inspiration. Let's hear you sometime. Keep in touch with all on the tube man!
I would argue this is the definitive recording of the Oliver Nelson arrangement of “In a Mellow Tone.” Solid sax soli, probably the best solo I’ve ever heard played over this song by the great Al Grey, amazing trumpet solo by Greg Gisbert(19yo here btw), sublime lead playing by Eric Miyashiro with some fantastic and very tasteful high notes, and of course a very energized performance by Buddy Rich. Doesn’t get much better than that.
It’s amazing how Al Grey elevated the whole band’s mood while showing em (and us) how it’s done. Buddy was one with every soloist’s mind, but Al really put him in the zone. I’m sure they were both thinking of Papa Jo...
More talent on that stage than the entire last 30 years of music performers added together 🤷 just phenomenal music and crafted musicianship. All of them are amazing. I'm highlighting Eric Myashiro who blows a trumpet 🎺 like nobody else (with the exception of Maynard that is).
Buddy really high on the band, loving it.His phrasing and dynamics are just so immaculate, to say nothing of his dynamite fills..how to drive a big band.
Yes it was. The great thing about jazz is that those motifs happen in the moment. You can’t force them. Also did you catch the rhapsody in blue lick Al Grey inserted in the solo and the bands reaction? This is why I love jazz so much. You bring to the gig your own story. You study, you listen, and you speak into the moment that which makes the whole larger.
Had to revisit this show after watching Greg Gisbert play last night (1/8/2022) with Roberta Gambarini. Really nice muted work last night, and enjoyed the solo here at around 4:10 into it. GO Jazz!
Love how all the guys in the band love and appreciate All Grey's playing. He was truly a super bone player of his era..crap, he sounded great in this era as well.
I wonder what Buddy thought the very first time he heard Eric hit all those high notes? Was he just another trumpet player going through the band or did he know right away..."this kid is a cut above"? Eric and Greg just making the entire Brass section shine!
Let's hope that one day a 16 month old baby will stand up and play drums instinctively...2 full months before Buddy did......it'll be Buddy's genetic progeny..who genetically & intrinsically learned off him.....and Junior Rich will be a maestro too....just like Buddy continues to be for all who appreciate him........jus think...our Buddy could be the progeny of as great an artist of may be 400 years ago..before recording.....in Prague.......YOU CHEWB rox!!!!!
They'd also put up with him browbeating them if they had a bad night, or for that matter if Buddy was just feeling cranky. Established guys wouldn't. Plus, the young kids probably worked cheaper.
Evolution suppose to be for the good. Why the musicians today evolved into misguided, noise makers?. I call this phenomenon (The reverse-evolution). Just truly documented facts I' m innocent. I love to observe how Mankind is approaching to it's end!

Hopefully you went to a hospital, and science also helped you ;)

Al Grey is trombone player, no saxophon

Papa Joe and Al were two of buddies favorite musicians!!!
Yeah that's Buddy kickin it @ 68 years old... There will never be another like him. Jazz is the best and one of the most difficult to play..

Nobody will ever swing like Buddy again, it hardly seems possible that he can do it so well. He was a virtuoso.
Did you ever see such a happy bunch of guys on one bandstand?
This is gold.
Pure Gold ~
Buddy really high on the band, loving it.His phrasing and dynamics are just so immaculate, to say nothing of his dynamite fills..how to drive a big band.
That kick at 10:43 with the bone player is absurdly tight. The crowd knew it too.

Eric on lead Trumpet rocks it !!!
Never seen Buddy smile so much. Great stuff!!
3:18 Love the Rhapsody in Blue quote
Buddy and his Band, THIS is Music with Class!!!!!!!

Fantastic listening! Buddy always had an exciting band
the trombone player was Al Grey
Was enjoying this until Al Grey came out of nowhere... Then I was LOVIN' IT!!
Holy Eric Miyashiro! Loved all the solos, especially Al Grey. Too bad no Steve Marcus solos on this recording.
Listen to the entire gig.
As good as it gets people.
Quel pied les amis , Al Grey "what is it " wonderfull , j'en pleurerais ..... Les maitres du swing . Merci encore mille fois
Meraviglia😊
Il genio!
What a tasteful ending to that first tune.
やっぱりバデイ・リッチ、最高ですね！金太郎さんみたいなエリックが初々しい！27年前にタイムトリップ。
Qué maravilla. ¡Los escucharía todo el día!
Look at those young guys! Kids!
Hot swinging Mr Rich as usual...great :-)
Eric Miyashiro on lead trumpet. He would have been 22 or 23 then.
Crazy good of course but, In a Mellow Tone is just killer....everyone in good spirits and blowing with energy and good vibes!
Damn! Band sounding SO tight
Al Grey was 61 in this video, and Greg and Eric were about 22,23.
Maravilha!
Nice Al Grey solo!
The video's first image is Eric M. Someone knew, didn't they!
Buddy rich was a big influence for me, among other jazz greats. Max Roach, Louie Bellson, Papa Joe Jones, Art Blakey, Tony Williams.
BR (and his band) was a big influence on all of us!
Can't I just make a comment in peace
@@allfunkedupexperience You just did.
@@OlesonMDyeah right
I wonder what Buddy thought the very first time he heard Eric hit all those high notes? Was he just another trumpet player going through the band or did he know right away..."this kid is a cut above"? Eric and Greg just making the entire Brass section shine!
5:57 it's an exquisite moment
Greg Gisbert solo at 4:04
In A Mellow Tone -- composed by the great Duke Ellington.....
Oliver Nelson arr
correction: its Al Grey, from the Basie band. Buddy loved Basie
Nice solo by a young Jay Craig on baritone sax👍
I wonder how many arrangements Buddy had stored away in his memory...
All of them.
All of them.
"In A Mellow Tone" was the first one on this clip. What's the blues in the 2nd slot? Great stuff!
T.A. James the second tune was titled “OK with Jay”. it was written by Jay Craig, the baritone sax player.
Let's hope that one day a 16 month old baby will stand up and play drums instinctively...2 full months before Buddy did......it'll be Buddy's genetic progeny..who genetically & intrinsically learned off him.....and Junior Rich will be a maestro too....just like Buddy continues to be for all who appreciate him........jus think...our Buddy could be the progeny of as great an artist of may be 400 years ago..before recording.....in Prague.......YOU CHEWB rox!!!!!
BR's last European tour and the cat could still swing like that. WhoooAaaaaaa!!!!
I was lucky enough to see him on this tour in Devenport UK. Life changing experience.
Greg Gisbert is damn good 4:01, and Al Grey 3:11 sure ... it's just the original Harlem jazz party
Is the greatest butter
2nd tune written by bari sax Jay Craig
It's OK with Jay?
@@stevehumphrey6830 correct
Besides being able to blow, very capable composer
Eric Miyashiro at 0:17?
1:13
Wait until they get on the bus!
lol yep. once you hear that you can't forget it.
@@eric_in_florida You should hear Paul Anka.
Where’s Joe?!?!?
No better drummer ever
The Hendrix of Drums. Al Grey aint bad either...
big!...
what's your name solo trombonist?
BELLÍSIMO
Al Grey
Old school promotion All Gray. Buddy parkinson new era from got no drummer
3:30 the guys saying Buddy was all chops and very little musicality should get force-feeded with that interplay between him and Al Grey, so to say
tough guy Buddy always seemed to have a weak spot for youngsters. Check his bands, and interviews, where he found the players.

@@Baribrotzer probably? Lol.
