5.0 out of 5 stars Hot Collins, Chambers and Smith!, September 27, 2004

By	Russ Bellinger (Bradenton, Florida USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Absolutely excellent DVD. Great sound and quality picture plus the major talents of Phil Collins, Dennis Chambers and Steve Smith really playing hard on some of Buddy's greatest stuff. Phil is (in my opinion) one of the greatest jazz drummers around and not too many people know how capable he is, as he is known for mainly for his rock drumming with Genesis and solo R&B/jazz stuff, but Genesis would from time to time utilize and add bits of jazz-fusion styled ideas into their music. Of course seeing them live it was obivious they were major talents. Phil still has it! Dennis also plays great (as he usually does). He is one of the busiest drummers on the jazz/rock scene with the bands Niacin, CAB and numerous sesions with cutting edge artitsts. Dennis really drives the music with lightning speed and precision. Steve Smith is always interesting as well. Seeing all these guys play incredible jazz performed live is well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buddy Rich remembered, January 16, 2007

By	The Spoonman - See all my reviews

I watched this for the first time last night, and was amazed at the drumming of Phil Collins, as I had never heard him play jazz before. Seeing and hearing him play with Buddy Rich's band was just the greatest, and he definetly fitted in.

I highly reccomend this DVD to all who love the music of the great Buddy Rich and all those who just like watching/listening to really good drummers. The other drummers on this album are all in a class by themselves, it's just that I had never heard Phil play jazz, and it touched me trmendously.
