This album is fast paced and really sends ya!!! It's amazing Buddy could still play the way he did at that age.

This CD is so cool! It has the best songs. I've listened to it for hours, and I'm still not bored. My favorites are Backwoods Sideman, and being a jazzz trombonist, Tommy Medley. Try it out!

The cd cooks! That's what Buddy's Big Band music is supposed to do. Everyone of these songs is great. If you are looking for some old fashioned Guy Lambardo dance music for 70 year old grandmothers, then this isn't going to be what your looking for. If you are looking for some exciting big band jazz with incredible drumming and outstanding musicianship, then this is. Get it!

This was the first Buddy Rich album I ever bought, in fact it was one of the first albums I ever bought, period. As a young percussionist (not drummer) I was searching for some purpose for the music I was playing. Some definition of what it was to be a musician from a percussion standpoint. That definition was certainly not going to be found in mainstream music or even in classical music.

My search lead me to Buddy Rich and, by complete luck, I stumbled onto this album. It was exactly what I needed, what I wanted, what I was searching for. It showcased Buddy's enormous talent without leaving the rest of the band, and music, far behind. Too often is the case that so much emphasis is placed on Buddy that it is hard for a young percussionist to relate to Buddy and his place in the scope of the band and music. This album is very balanced, yet allows the listener to easily hear the talent of the world's greatest percussionist.

This cd is great! Playhouse is the coolest song on the cd. If your a young drummer like me, buy this cd, it will inspire you to do anything on the drums.

This is so horrible that it's laughable.

The pressure to change style in 70's and become the new Buddy Rich to target the new generation comes across as a make it up as we go along Jazzrock Funky Blues sound which makes a jazz fan want to puke.
