Buddy Rich Live! at the '82 Montreal Jazz Festival,
By Gordon K. Smith (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Buddy Rich, Live at The 1982 Montreal Jazz Festival [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If you like Buddy (who wouldn't) you have to see him in this video. He is at the prime of his career and he burns. My favorite part is the blinding fast single stroke roll that starts soft and low, and then builds to a feverish pace that only Buddy could acheive. Ive watched it 3 times since Christmas and I am in amazment every time. No wonder the audience gives him a standing "O" after every piece. They were witnessing a drum god at work!

Buddy at his best. Even at 65!,
This review is from: Buddy Rich, Live at The 1982 Montreal Jazz Festival [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If you're a Buddy Rich fan, this video is a must-have. Not only do you get to witness his unbelieveable drumming, but there's a short episode of his temper as well. At the end of Bob Mintzer's "Good News", there is one short instant where the brass didn't quite play a note exactly together. Buddy smirks for a second, pauses before the last chord, and clearly says "what happened? ". He then cues the last chord, after which he continues to humiliate the trumpet section with more words and gestures. Aside from that distraction, the band is smokin' and the soloists (including saxists Andy Fusco, Walt Weiskopf, Steve Marcus) are especially strong.

Buddy Rich- Live at the '82 Montreal Jazz Fest- WOW,
By "marilyn@westol.com" (Pittsburgh, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Buddy Rich, Live at The 1982 Montreal Jazz Festival [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The box say's "Buddy and his Band at the height of their popularity" This is a MUST see video for fans of Buddy and jazz. The sound on this is top notch and of course Buddy is at his best, he wouldn't allow any less. The highlight {if you can get any better than the best} has to be the extended solo in Buddy's signature piece "West Side Story " medly. Again the sound is right on, you can almost feel his intensity, and at the same time his grace.This tape is flawless, almost 60 minutes of perfection There is and was only one Buddy.
