Buddy Rich (d), Don Goldie (tp), Sam Most (cl, fl, as), Mike Mainieri (vib, arr), John Morris (p), Wilbur Wynne (g), Richard Evans, Wyatt Ruther (b), Vinny Marino (conga)
The worlds greatest drummer, Buddy Rich, is at the helm of this happy, driving small group in two sessions from 1960 and 1961one of them remained unreleased for many yearsthat feature the stirring playing of multi-reedman Sam Most and Richs young discovery, the astonishing vibraphonist Mike Mainieri.
Both Most and Mainieri (who also did most of the groups writing) are abundantly inventive soloists, while the buoyantly effective rhythm section is a Rich archetype. With the leader keeping the drum solos within reasonable limitsmostly breathtakingly brilliant four or eights, and passages ingeniously integrated with the rhythmic patterns of the ensemblethis is one of his tightest small groups.
As a bonus, this set includes tracks from rare radio broadcasts aired in October 1961, during one of the bands appearances at Birdland. Though known mainly as a big band drummer, Rich demonstrates, through his breathtaking virtuosity and versatility, that he could electricfy an ensemble of any size or any style. His finesse, control, and taste were simply astonishing.
