Burning for Buddy. A Tribute to the Music of Buddy Rich
Beskrivning:Trumslagaren Buddy Rich (1917-1987) spelade större delen av sin karriär i storband, de sista 20 åren ledde han sitt egna, ungdomliga band. Det fortsatte efter hans död under ledning av tenoristen Steve Marcus och hörs här med ett stort antal gäst-trummisar som vill hedra Richs minne. Bill Cobham, Steve Gadd, Omar Hakim, Joe Morello, Max Roach, Ed Shaughnessy, Marvin "Smitty" Smith och Dave Weckl är några av slagverkarna.
"Burning for Buddy: A Tribute to the Music of Buddy Rich, Vol. 1 assembles a shifting cast of virtuoso trap-set players sitting in with the Buddy Rich and His Big Band in order to pay tribute to its legendary founder. Some of the musicians come from rock & roll, often with experience in prog rock or rock/jazz fusion....Others made their mark primarily in the jazz world, including Max Roach, Dave Weckl, Billy Cobham, and Marvin "Smitty" Smith, among others. There are also some drummers who are primarily known for their versatile session work, able to play both rock and jazz; while these players' work is almost always competent, they rarely display much individuality. So overall, Burning for Buddy has more of a modern flavor than one might expect, and it's as uneven as most tribute albums, but the high points may make it worth picking up for some."
