This was one of my favorite CD's when I first started listening to jazz, especially jazz drummers, in high school. I bought three B. Rich CD's and got rid of the other two within two years but I have bought this one twice and plan to buy it again. A good, solid, enjoyable chunk of music. "Nica's Dream" in particular is on my personal internal soundtrack; I've been humming and singing it for years, with accompannying chest drumming for the breakdowns, particularly when it's closing and cleanup time at the current job. Good physical music with guts, flow, punch, and soul and yes, it jams. Not a classic; not recommended as a building block for the foundation of a serious jazz library, thus the four stars, but buy it as soon as your collection is on its feet and you are ready for a little true fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lay it down, April 29, 2000

Sweet cd, a little short on length, but its so good. This one isn't centered around the drums, and there aren't any real big drum solos. Its just a mix of some different styles of music with Buddy playing along, showing off his real talent, which is jiving with the band, laying down a beat, and tapping it up every once and again. It doesn't have the big band blast sound, but more of a jiving one. The rest of the band goes off on amazing tangets and solos, while the whole time Buddy is both keeping the beat and throwing in complex shots to liven it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet BR, June 18, 2001

This is one of my favorite albums, but maybe it's because I'm a chick! I think it is the sweetest Rich sound around...other than the vocal album, (rare to find) The Voice is Rich. Sierra Lonely was a haunting piece, but even more so now that the BR is gone, (but never, never forgotten).
