A killer tour de force
|
This band of Buddy Rich is so fantastic, there are not superlatives enough to describe it. The tragedy is that so few who would have loved this music even knew it existed at the time -- thanks to our wonderful media, which insisted on giving us mostly pop mediocrity on the airwaves. But those who were lucky enough that they did know and heard Killer Force live will never forget it.
I had most of these tunes on one CD or another, but the performances here exceeded the studio versions in almost every case. The mix could have given the reeds just a bit more volume; at times, when the whole band was playing, you could barely hear them. Overall, the show was wonderful, and anyone who likes Buddy Rich, or anyone who digs contemporary big-band jazz, will love this DVD. |
