Weekend Cook and Tell: Love For Legumes
Welcome to our Weekend Cook and Tell where each Wednesday we turn the pages of the food sections of various national newspapers in search of inspiration for a weekend cooking project. We hope you'll cook along with us and share your experiences, recipes, and photos here.
What vegetarian [insert descriptive noun] can I make for [insert person or purpose]? Our Talk threads regularly see action on questions that fall somewhere along these lines. Melissa Clark, of The New York Times, was asked a very similar question by a friend: "What budget-conscious, vegetarian dinner party dish can you think of that's as impressive as beef Bourgignon, can be made entirely in advance, doesn't involve tofu and will be satisfying enough for meat eaters?" This question led to this answer: a big pot of beans stewed in red wine.
Legumes are versatile, comforting, and a fan favorite. Beans, peas, peanuts, soybeans, and the legume list continues. Just last week, Baby Zog demolished an entire bowl of Turkey Barbecue Beans. There's no denying a global love of legumes. When you need a hearty meal, what legume dish do you turn to?
Share your favorite legume recipes on Photograzing (make sure to include "Weekend Cook and Tell" in your submission title) and tell us about your recipes here! If you'd like to blog the experience, please leave a link in the comments below. You can now also pin your creation on your Pinterest board as well. Please use the hashtag, #cookandtell, and tag us, @Serious Eats in your pin's text.
We'll post a round-up of your ideas, recipes, and experiences the following Wednesday, February 27th.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!
Check out this post for a more thorough explanation, and jump onto our Facebook page or our Twitter feed to keep the conversations going!

Kate Moss Gossip
Kate Moss gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
"Calling all the basic bitches"
Wenn, FameFlynet
Maria posted this to Smutty Social Media last week – Kate Moss and Marc Jacobs "calling all the basic bitches". This ones for you @lohanthony it was Kate's idea! Full Story
Kate Moss 41
It's Kate Moss's birthday today. She's 41 years old. Here she is leaving her home in London today as photographers and other media sang Happy Birthday to her. She looked delighted. See? The paps aren't always bad. You know, on anyone else I'd see the black hose and those shoes and be disgusted. Full Story
In Kate's living room
FameFlynet, Pascal Le Segretain/ David M. Benett/ Getty
The December issue of British VOGUE is all Kate Moss. There are two covers and she was a contributing editor. At one point she's able to convince her friends, the Count and Countess von Bismarck, to let them shoot inside their home because that's where all the good parties are, naturally. Full Story
Fashion Week Best Friends
Wenn, FameFlynet
London Fashion Week is happening right now. The centerpiece of LFW: Burberry, always Burberry. One of the most iconic London faces: Kate Moss, always Kate Moss. And the hottest model to come out of London the last few years: Cara Delevingne. Will Cara stay like Kate? I think so. Full Story
Prince William and the celebrities
Pool/ Getty
Prince William hosted an event last night for the Royal Marsden and all kinds of celebrities were there, including Cate Blanchett, Kate Moss, Ralph Lauren and family, and Benedict Cumberbatch. At one point Kate Moss asked him about Kate Middleton. He told her she wasn't coming and Moss's reply was, "Such a shame". Full Story
Moss for Bowie
Wenn, Ian Gavan/ Getty
Brit Awards last night. David Bowie was named Best Male. But, as Noel Gallagher explained, "You maniacs didn't think David Bowie was actually going to be here? David Bowie's too cool for that - he doesn't do this sh-t." True. Instead, Kate Moss, wearing Ziggy Stardust's Woodland Creatures, accepted the award on his behalf. Full Story
The Kates and Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen has released new ad shot by Steven Klein and featuring Kate Moss. Watch it. And if that was the only exposure you'd ever had to the label, would you ever guess that that was where Katy Cambridge's wedding dress came from? A reader called Tania just emailed suggesting that there's a lot of Tilda Swinton happening here in Kate's styling. Full Story
Catching up with the Depp exes
MK/ AKM-GSI/ Splash, Valerie Macon/ Getty
While Johnny Depp may or may not be marrying Amber Heard, who had to make it SO OBVIOUS that she didn't want you to see her ring – click here for a refresher -- let's catch up with his exes. It's Kate Moss's 40th birthday today. Full Story
Kate Moss for Playboy
The Kate Moss cover to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Playboy has been released. Is anyone surprised it's not Pamela Anderson? Not that I don't think Kate Moss is a better choice. Kate Moss is a model yes. She's also, almost improbably, become a business woman. Full Story
McCartney & Meryl
How could they say no? It's Paul McCartney shooting a video at Abbey Road Studios. No one could say no. So here's the video for Queenie Eye featuring Johnny Depp and Kate Moss (not shot together) and all kinds of other famous people I'm not listing for you because part of the fun is picking them out one by one but I will say I don't think that's Sienna Miller although a lot of people think it is… Johnny Depp hasn't been this NOT annoying in a long time except – why is it skeeving me when he mouths the words? Question: who's cooler Johnny Depp or Jeremy Irons? Answer: MERYL STREEP. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Let's start the day with some Gossip Nostalgia: when Johnny loved Kate. Paul McCartney has confirmed that Depp and Moss will both appear in the video for his new song Queenie Eye. Like…together.
Well now this is just an excuse to kill too much time staring at old photos of them back then, as they were. Their relationship began almost 20 years ago. God that's a long time. How can it be such a long time?
It used to be that whenever Johnny Depp fell in love, it became an iconic romance: before Kate there was Winona, and after Kate there was Vanessa. And all three of those relationships had that… special "it". Read Full Intro
Kate Moss art
Kate Moss The Collection is on sale today at Christie's. A selection of artwork featuring Moss including photos and sculptures will be auctioned off. The value of it all is estimated at $1.5 million. Would you buy Kate Moss art? Some of her photos are indeed spectacular, iconic, even. Full Story
INTERVIEW: The Models
I grew up in the 80s. It was the era of the Supermodel. The REAL Supermodel. Heidi Klum is NOT a Real Supermodel, sorry. Back then, every issue of VOGUE and ELLE was a proper event. Back then, it wasn't Victoria's Secret, it was runway. It was Linda and Christy and Naomi and Cindy and Stephanie and Karen and Tatiana and Helena and Claudia and Gianni Versace had them all on ONE RUNWAY. Full Story
Kate Moss making money
Kate Moss is on holiday with husband Jamie Hince and her daughter Lila Grace in Spain. It's been two years since Kate and Jamie were married. Two calm, relatively drama-free years. During which she's apparently made more and more money. In the two years since she and Jamie officially became wife and man, Moss tripled the value of her assets thanks to earnings from her two companies and her partnerships with major fashion and beauty brands.

The main reason for one of the most hated Google redesigns, the famous iGoogle update from 2008, was to transform gadgets into social web applications. The visible changes didn't make the upgrade compelling, since most users only saw a sidebar that took away some space from an already crowded homepage. Some gadgets could be maximized in a canvas view to display even more information, but not many gadgets used this opportunity in a meaningful way.
Google didn't offer an option to switch back to the classic iGoogle interface, but you can still find it if you go to http://www.google.com/ig?hl=all and in some local versions of iGoogle.
The second step of the iGoogle update is to make it more social by converting iGoogle into an OpenSocial container. That means you'll be able to add to iGoogle applications that are already available in social networks like MySpace, Orkut, LinkedIn. The main problem is that iGoogle is not a social network and the "friendship" concept is vague in the GoogleLand.
Google Australia announces that the local version of iGoogle has already added the social features:
"Starting this week, we're rolling out some new social gadgets for iGoogle to all Australian users. Not only can you continue to do all the things you love to do on your homepage, but you now have the option to share all kinds of information, play games and collaborate with your friends too. (...) Your current gadgets will continue to work normally and you don't have to take advantage of the social gadgets if you decide it doesn't fit your interest. But by adding and enabling social gadgets, you'll be able to have an even deeper, interactive experience with your gadgets when you share them with friends."
But who are these Google friends? The answer is pretty simple: the contacts from the built-in Friends group.
"Friends is a group to help you organize your contacts. You can move contacts in and out of this group at any time, and this is the only group of people who can see your updates and with whom you can share social gadgets and social gadget activities. Similarly, you can see someone else's updates or social gadget activities only if they have included you in their Friends group."
For Google, friendship is a one-way concept. You don't have to invite other people to become your friends: just add them to the built-in Friends group and they'll be able "to see what you share or do in social gadgets through the gadgets themselves, or through a new feed of information called Updates, a way to see what your friends are doing on iGoogle".
An example of social-enabled gadget is "Social Photos", which shows the latest photos uploaded to Picasa Web and Flickr by your friends.
Other examples include: the "Timeline" gadget, that lets you share what you are doing and see your friends' status messages on a timeline; puzzles and games like NY Times Crossword, chess, trivia; collaborative gadgets like ToDo List.
The features will be rolled out this week at iGoogle Australia, but you can also try them in the iGoogle Developer Sandbox. Developers can find more about iGoogle's social gadgets by visiting this page.

I totally agree with NY guy on this one... Mike (The Rat) is a bitter coach that couldn't control something in the offseason now that his control is in effect ....he is applying that power to 1 player that held out.... No player should be punished for holding out and that is a good point on Brett Favre, But I think players that hold out aren't "TRUE" football players cause it's more about the money for them. Like Sam Bradford getting 50 Million dollars guaranteed money and hasn't done NOTHING is CRAZY!!!... I thought the 32 million that JA-BUSTO robbed from the Raiders for some sizzurp was bad geez... But Haynesworth holdout isn't about money it's about scheme of play... A legit reason... He doesn't want to take a pounding in the 3-4 scheme and have reduced numbers to make his value go down and risk factor go up.... "The Rat" is a joke can't stand that guy!
Here is my take on all this. Albert Haynesworth and Darelle Revis can't be compared for a couple reasons, #1 Albert has already got his big payday and Revis is looking for his big payday, #2 Revis shows up and plays with maximum effort every time he steps on the field and you can't say that about big Al. What do you think about Big Al sitting out for almost a week b/c of a bum knee that an MRI found to have no damage? Then less than 24 hours later the guy goes out and passes the test. Who is his doctor, Anthony Galea?

Petersen leaving Marshall
HUNTINGTON -- Marshall University quarterback coach Tony Petersen has resigned to accept the offensive coordinator job at Louisiana Tech, according to Marshall sources.
That means Marshall will have to face Petersen's offense next season because the Thundering Herd is scheduled to play Louisiana Tech in Ruston, La.
Petersen was one of Herd head coach Doc Holliday's first hires when he put together a staff three football seasons ago. Petersen also carried the titles of assistant head coach and co-offensive coordinator.
Under Petersen's tutelage, Marshall sophomore quarterback Rakeem Cato exploded with a break-through year during the 2012 season. Cato completed 406 of 584 passes for 4,201 yards with 37 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
That led to Cato earning a bevy of postseason honors, including Conference USA's Most Valuable Player award and also first-team all-league.
As a result, that made Petersen a hot commodity on the coaching market. That's particularly true for schools interested in running a version of the spread offense featuring prolific passing.
That's why hiring Petersen was a no-brainer for new Louisiana Tech coach Skip Holtz.
Under former Bulldogs coach Sonny Dykes, Louisiana Tech had one of the most high-octane offenses in the nation in 2012. The school obviously wanted to maintain that status.
The problem was Holtz's offenses at East Carolina and South Florida were conservative, which meant he needed to find an offensive mind to run a fast-paced offense.
He found his man in Petersen.
Now, Holtz can continue Louisiana Tech's offensive tradition and Petersen gets to call the plays, which he didn't do at Marshall.
So, how does Marshall replace Petersen?
Actually, there are two options within the Herd's current coaching staff. Offensive coordinator Bill Legg, who calls the plays and coaches the tight ends, was offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Florida International in 2008-09.
Then, there's running back coach JaJuan Seider, who was a star quarterback at Florida A&M after transferring from West Virginia University.
Seider earned All-American honors and won the Doug Williams Award for National Offensive Player of the Year and the Jake Gaither Award (considered the Heisman Trophy of black colleges) following a spectacular senior year at Florida A&M where he passed for 2,512 yards and 27 touchdowns.
He was also named the MEAC Offensive Player of the Year and was selected in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers.

"Yay, Warrenville," Principal Brad Weston happily exclaimed when he learned of the surprise announcement that his elementary school won a state-level award for its progress on Palmetto Assessment of State Standards exams taken last spring.
Janice Kitchings, an Aiken County School District academic officer, congratulated the administration and faculty Thursday. The State Department of Education is providing a $5,000 grant, she said.
Earlier this year, the State Department recognized federally designated Title I schools for their academic progress. The State Department now has identified Warrenville and two other elementary schools in the state for demonstrating the most progress in their category.
These schools and three others with high-performance honors will attend the S.C. Associate of Title I Administrators Fall Conference to share best practices.
Jeannie Glover, the School District's Title I director, said Warrenville is now eligible among the three schools to be named an S.C. Title I Distinguished School. The winner will receive another $10,000 grant and will be eligible to attend a national conference in February.
"This is a dream that seems like it's never-ending," Weston sad. "It's such a huge accomplishment, and it's hard to come back and maintain that level. But we'll be digging into our data to keep Warrenville at this status."
The faculty will continue to focus on things that worked for them last year. The teachers and administrators will try to revise things they have identified as areas of improvements, Weston said.
Warrenville was participating in picture day, and to her delight, PTO President Shannon Blackburn was attending that event when Kitchings, Glover and other district personnel arrived with the good news. The PTO officer joined the organization in 2001 and her youngest child, Matthew, is in third grade.
"They'll have me here for a few more years," Blackburn said. "This is a great school with great teachers. They deserve this."

Last two years the beautiful fragrance lasted only a few days. Very disappointed! I was hoping you improved this product like the prior years.

Yes No
Best Frasier Scent
I received this Frasier Fir potpourri as a gift. I loved this gift and the aroma is so pleasant. This potpourri can be kept alive by just adding refresher oil. I found this to be a really nice present and appreciated adding this special scent in our home during the Christmas season.
Pine Lover
Too Many Loose Red "Petals"
The fragrance on this potpourri is the best. It smells like authentic pine forests and lends a wonderful clean scent to the room.
Although the photo shows a small accent of red in the bag, mine had about 40% dyed red wood like "petals" which had broken up and stuck to all the other components in the bag. It was quite a mess. With this much red in the bag it seems more suited for the holiday season only, rather than year round use.
More natural pods and fewer fake dyed red "petals" would offer a nicer appearance.
This was my first purchase of Fraiser Fir potpourri and I love it! The scent is just as described, like being in the north woods where I grew up. And the mix of colors and pinecones is beautiful, especially at Christmas time. I gave some to my sisters as well, along with the potpourri dish and they love it too! I will definitely be keeping this in home, possibly long after Christmas.
Frasier Fir Potpourri
We have used your Potpourri before and were looking forward to filling our home with the outdooor scent of fresh fir trees. But much to our surprise..... the fragrance disappeared after the first couple of days.

I was an obsessive child.
I hated not knowing.
I had to know the answers and retorts like, Because Im your mother thats why, or Because I said so, were never acceptable answers.
I was an inquisitive sort. Especially at Christmas.
What I wanted to know: How did Santa Claus do the whole presents thing?
The Christmas stories such as Twas the Night Before Christmas, covered St. Nicks schemes saying he came down the chimney with a bound carrying a sack full of presents.
Thats all fine and good except my house never had a chimney.
I was eight years old and still very much a staunch disciple of the whole Magic of Christmas concept despite my misgivings. I should have been content and satisfied with the fact that I woke up every Christmas morning with presents under the Christmas tree.
But I wasnt.
So on Christmas Eve, I waited.
My siblings were younger and accepted Santas bounty with blissful ignorance. They never questioned the antics of the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny either.
They accepted these with blind faith. I did not.
So I lay there in my bed, staring up at the ceiling as my brother snored in the bunk below. He would not be my partner in crime in this endeavor as he was just three and barely knew he was alive yet.
Neither did I enlist the help of my sisters. One was a blabbermouth and the other I called The Informant.
If I were doing something steeped in malfeasance, she would inform my parents of said behavior and the spankings would commence. This tradition played out for about 23 years and I never learned not to trust my youngest sister.
But I did well this night. My plans to catch Santa were my secret and my secret alone.
So I waited until the house was quiet and dark. I waited while the smiling full moon tracked across the night sky. He knew, but he wasnt telling. I waited well into the night and resisted the pull of sleep.
And then I made my move.
I slid out of the top bunk, careful not to disturb my brother. Then I tippy-toed out into the hallway, pausing to detect the steady rhythmic snoring of my two sisters.
My parents bedroom door was closed.
I crept into the kitchen and family room and turned to enter the front living room where the family Christmas tree stood sentinel and waited for our arrival on Christmas morning.
I heard the tinkle of a tiny bell from beyond and leaped into the room to turn on the lights and announce with righteous and knowing glee, AH HA!
The room was empty.
There was no fat little elf with the twinkling eyes and the dimples so merry, with cheeks like roses and a nose like a cherry, or whose belly shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.
Nope, just lots and lots of presents.
The presents were all there, neatly arranged under the tree; even a brand new bicycle for me on my side of the tree, a Huffy 26-inch cruiser, just as Id written at the top of my list.
How did he do it?
Somewhere deep in the recesses of my tiny eight-year old brain, a voice answered my query, Your brother and sister have a point, kid. Theres plenty of time to sweat the small stuff. Just enjoy what is today, and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.
Like homework.
Okay, I get it, but come Easter, that bunny, and how he comes in possession of all those eggs...
Hes mine.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers say they're gathering information after defensive end Da'Quan Bowers was arrested after a handgun was found in his luggage at a New York airport.
Bowers was arraigned Monday on charges of criminal possession of a weapon and posted $10,000 bond. Team officials said Tuesday they won't comment until they have all the facts.
According to authorities, Bowers was arrested at LaGuardia Airport as he was about to board a U.S. Airways flight to Raleigh, N.C. The .40-caliber weapon was found during a search of his carry-on bag.
Efforts to reach his attorney were unsuccessful.
Bowers played college football for Clemson University and was selected by the Buccaneers in the 2011 NFL draft.

Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Anyway, it's hearsay but it's close enough for me. Heck, at least I was aware of Buddy at an early age.
"I'm getting old. I need more things to hit... No." --Dave Weckl, TUDW 2002
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
People in glass houses...
'Cause, apparently, it wasn't understood the 1st time...
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
I've just launched a Podcast series for drummers, and it contains some great insight into the careers of both Buddy Rich and Stan Getz. Episode #01 includes interviews with Cathy Rich, (Buddy Rich's daughter) Bev Getz, (Stan Getz's daughter) and an exclusive interview with Donny Osborne. (named as Buddy Rich's protege when he was 14, and at age 17, hired by Mel Torme, where he remained for 25 years.)
You can download it (free of course) at http://www.mikejamesjazz.com/podcast_index.html
The total time of the Podcast is 1 hour, 35 minutes, so be warned... It is a LARGE file. (95 MB for the QuickTime version and 85 Mb for the (iPod) "m4v" version. But, there are so many great stories on it, I think it's worth the wait for the download. (or if you prefer to watch the QuickTime version in your browser, it's set up for streaming.)
Enjoy, everybody!
PS> Guys, don't waste your time listening to, or thinking about these stupid "bus tapes". What Buddy gave us is nearly 70 years of great music and great drumming. Anything else that went on behind the scenes is irrelevant, at best.

Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Not sure about that Mike; part of Buddys appeal to me was the whole persona, the rants against Dusty Springfield/Osmonds/Country music, and his intolerance for people who wouldn't try to do their best!! OK, so his interpersonal skills may have needed work BUT he was right, he didn't need them. If ya work somewhere and don't pull your weight then you get chewed out, and that what Buddy was doing...AS WELL AS giving 70 years of awesome music from the greatest drummer to ever draw breath!!!
'I Wanna Be The Man With The 50lb Hammer'
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
I couldn't agree more. Those of us who grew up listening to and watching Buddy have an "understanding" of the whole person. My comment was really intended for people who are new to Buddy, and "write him off" because they heard a specific (negative) story.
I love and miss him, for a variety of reasons. Whatever else is said, he absolutely was one of a kind.

Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Buddy was Buddy. He "earned" what he got, and where he was. Period. I don't think anyone has ever implied the BR was the "greatest interpersonal communicator to have ever drawn breath".
No one is/was perfect. And I guarantee you, BR didn't think he was either. He was just one of the hardest workers in the business, and he expected nothing less from those around him. His confidence confused people. AND still does.

Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
I turned the radio on to the jazz station the other night. I heard this nice, tasteful solo; perfectly executed, beautifully groovin' and utterly virtuous. No crazy chops, no wild rolls or fills.
I was certain it was Buddy due to the drum sound, but I'd never heard this solo before. Sure enough, the band kicked in and it became obvious.
I've been listening to this guy since I was tiny and he still never ceases to amaze me.

Re: Buddy Rich
Have to agree with you on that video
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Buddy Rich inspired a generation of drummers. I remember watching him on the tube throughout the sixties as I grew up (Johnny Carson loved Buddy!). His left hand was just a monster of control and speed, and he continued great drumming till his death. I was surprised with his interest in the martial arts as I always heard he was somewhat superstitious and concerned about injuring his hands. Probably an urban legend. He probably wacked bricks in half with that left hand. What a legacy with the Buddy Rich Band!!
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
If anyone is interested, I posted a bunch of half speed Buddy Rich solos on YouTube. Follow this link to watch and discuss:
Watching these videos at half speed reveals some things that might shock you, especially with respect to his speed. A good way to gauge Buddy's higher speeds is to watch closely his hi-hat workout in this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kGqppouPvs. The workout runs at 2:07-3:11 and 4:23-5:07. Here, his right hand carries long strings of notes, while his left adds accents here and there on the underside of the hats. At half speed, the right hand sounds like it's playing eighths at 210. When his left hand hand alternates with his right, rather than add accents, as it does to make three and four note figures around 2:39-2:42, 3:09-3:11 and 4:43-4:44, the notes played between both hands sound like 16ths. Believe it or not, at full speed, that makes for a speed of 14 notes per second in Buddy's right hand, and a speed of 28 notes per second between both his hands, which is far faster than I have ever heard any drummer play. (Now, whether Buddy could have sustained that speed for a full minute, a la the World's Fastest Drummer competition, is unknown, of course).
The techniques used during the hi-hat workout are applied from 6:22 to 6:45 on the crash cymbal in the above video. Again, Buddy's right hand plays long strings of what appear as eighth notes at 210, while adding left hand accents on the underside of the cymbal. These accents typical appear at this speed as quarter notes and notes of greater value. At full speed, then, the right hand is push-pulling at a speed of approximately 14 notes per second.
(You can also see Buddy achieve that speed in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5k-8iGXjPs at minute 6:15 to 6:35.)
The half speed videos also show Buddy as being able to cruise for long, long periods of time in the 10 or so notes per hand per second range of speed, as he does in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RAOTOaBgtA. From :08 to around 1:30 in this video, Buddy's left hand is playing at a speed of around 10 notes per second, from what I can tell. If you measure these notes against a metronome, you'll see that they synch with eighth notes at 150 beats per minute at the half speed pace of the video. At full speed, these are 16th notes, of course, which make for approximately 10 notes per second in his single hand.

Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Here's my 2-cent Buddy story: I had seen Buddy in various Modern Drummer articles and ads, also the classic Ludwig posters at all the music stores when I first started playing. I knew he was an icon but really didn't know why. Here I was studying Neil Peart and John Bonham thinking "who's this old dude they call buddy?" Well, I got a cold smack in the face one fine winter day in early 1984 at my high school. Buddy came there and my mom bought several front row seats for the show. So, the band started playing some tunes, then buddy did a solo and I was like "wow, this guy is great!". Then, the band took an intermission, they played a few more tunes, then what I was about to witness would change the way I look at drumming and age forever. Biddy went into another solo. This was the REAL solo, though. That cat did the most amazing solo I've ever seen in my life. He made the fastest rock drummers look like they were in slow motion. His agility and awe-inspiring technique was almost unearthly. I couldn't shake his hand. The guy wasn't human. I loved the way he used creativity to create more sonic possibilities rather than adding more toms and cymbals like so many others. I still to this day have not seen a recorded buddy rich solo I perceive to be as incredible as the one I saw with my own two eyes that night. Maybe it was just my mind playing tricks on me, but I don't care. It was the single best drumming performance in my mind, and it's my favorite musical memory which I'll never forget. That guy was old as dirt, ragged-out looking as could be, and I couldn't for the life of me understand how he could move so fast, in a sweaty blurr of drumsticks. Hope some of you who didn't see buddy in person enjoyed my story...

Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
I never cared much for Buddy Rich, Although I respect him for what he did for drumming, I could never listen to him solo, To me, it seems like all his solos are just him doing rudiments very fast, then slowing down, and playing them fast again all while doing stick tricks and show-man stuff like that. It's extremely hard, but I don't find it that interesting. I much prefer the more lyrical solos of Tony Williams or Joe Morello. Their solo's could sing! He was also kind of an A-hole, but thats not relevent to his drumming.

Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
No. Buddy Rich is NOT overrated....
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, and Chick Webb, Jo Jones are the people responsible for bringing the drums up front, and giving them the kind of respect enjoy today. These people are also somewhat responsible for a lot of what we play on the drums today, because they defined the instrument.
It also must be said that great drummers are torch bearers, in that they take the legacy from someone & hand it to over to someonene else.
You could like or dislike Buddy's music but under no circumstances could you say Buddy was overrated.

Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
I'll take listening to Tony or Elvin over Buddy in the soloing department any day of the week which is based on a different musical jazz style and different jazz concepts towards the instrument that perks my ears much more. Just a personal preference thing. Having said that I have tremendous admired respect for what he acomplished for drums and on the drums. My memories of seeing him live were of his incredible ability to setup figures and drive the heck out of a band and basically sound amazing where it's most important to me in the context of the music as a group player which really shined and stood out to me in a Big Band setting. Certainly not overated regardless of personal taste and preferences since he was a true master of his craft and certainly one of the greats if not the greatest of the Big Band drummers that's ever graced our planet IMO.
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
"Hey! Its you......I don't like you!"
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
In fairness to your rant, Buddy Rich currently suffers from a fanboy base every bit as fanatical as Bonham's or Travis Barker's. And in trying to talk to them, a person would assume that Rich grew angels wings when he died and merely ascended to heaven. I was once even flamed on the Rich website for having the gall to believe that Rich had been the greatest drummer who ever lived for only 7 years of his illustrious career. And here I was trying Rich covers on the Internet. To say to them that Buddy Rich was anything less than a savior incarnate is considered blasephmy. I also think their total blindness hurts Rich now more than it helps.
Also to your credit you mention the names of great drummers alongside Rich. Personally I like three of those guys better than Rich myself. OK if you're not on the Rich bandwagon, people can at least say, Alright there's something to what he's saying, and at the very least he's not bringing up Jordison, Bitner etc.
But man you screw up when you use a phrase like SMOKE to describe what these other guys would do. SMOKE indicates losing challenges at the most, and the most extreme disrespect at the very least. In both cases neither apply, and demonstrate that you haven't studied Rich enough to know what you're talking about. And don't talk to me about some Johnny Carson show on youtube, or a video of West Side Story #2 vs. West Side Story #76 blah, blah. Have you heard for example all the Pacific Jazz releases and the first 3 RCAs, and I'm not talking about watered down compilations? Frankly man, I was already a little suspicious of where your argument was going when I saw that you typed in that old All he plays on the snare is rudiments argument. If you believe that you might want to go back and listen.
Have you really compared the difference between drummers in those old Tommy Dorsey and Artie Shaw bands, and how they changed when Rich guided them? You seen that Harry James stuff in the mid 60s? I would be willing to bet anything that you haven't, or you wouldn't say something like you just said. See I think it's way too easy to compare the greatness of the other guys you mention to Rich when Rich had to answer to at least a half dozen sylistic periods of music just to stay relevant. This is the pitfall of a 65 year career, back when all of music changed an average of every 8-10 years. Nowadays you can get away with playing the same way for most of your career, all talk of drum evolution aside. This is especially true of American jazz that has changed very little in almost 30 years.
Most important, none of the drummers you mentioned would or would have repeated what you just said because they would have found it an uneducated stance. In fact every one of those guys are on record as idolizing Rich to the point of bowing down. Even Billy Cobham said as much even after Rich had ripped him in public. And if we're gonna take away points for being an A hole in the music business, then Rich is in a very long and pretty fancy line.
So where does that put your opinion, other than your having the right to say whatever you like regardless of the facts?
Just like the Rich is the only God of Drums claim, the devaluing of Buddy Rich as a spiritual center of drumming is just revisionist history, and slamming him is just guys trying to sound cool. And if you think you have to outgrow him enough to flat out dislike him as a player, then I say too bad for you.
I endorse Zildjian sticks because I like them.
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
I also said that Buddy Rich being an A hole was irrelevant to his drumming, My favorite drummer is Stewart Copeland. But he also seems like an A-hole, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying his drumming. I just have yet to see something I like from Buddy Rich.
What music/videos would you suggest to get me into Buddy Rich?
[edit] Im also not "slamming" Buddy Rich, nor am I trying to look cool, Im not saying things like "He really sucks"or "All his music is terrible" .Im just saying I don't see the hype with him.

Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Buddy Rich has such a rabid, and irritating fanbase.
I correct myself,Buddy Rich is NOT overrated overall, but Buddy Rich is overrated among his rabid fanbase.
"Hey! Its you......I don't like you!"
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
As to stuff you might like, I prefer his Pacific Jazz output from 1966-71. The New One is often overlooked and terrific, and there is much to enjoy from Mercy, Mercy. In the early days, his output from the Artie Shaw band is pretty great for the time, and I have heard some very good combo music from his days with Jazz at the Philharmonic.
When looking for videos I tend to look for his British TV shows. For some reason he always went above and beyond on those things. I don't know why his TV stuff was always better in the UK, but to me it was.
This stuff from the early 70s is very strong.
Still, all the old timers will tell you that they have seen little on a video that captured the live thing or his best audio, and I tend to believe that, although he was also before my time.
I endorse Zildjian sticks because I like them.
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
I was fortunate to catch Buddy live a couple of times and both of them up close in a small setting ( no more than literally several feet from Buddy each time ).
Yeah Matt, it's true, nothing on video does justice to what it was like to see him play in person.
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Buddy Rich overrated???
That's it!! It's over!!
NOW...I've heard everything!!
Dude...you ARE insane!! :-|
Or just not of this earth!! :-(
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
The words Buddy Rich and overrated can NOT possibly be used in the same sentence...unless...the word NOT is inserted right before the word overrated.
I'm guessing you're under 30 years of age, and probably not even ever heard of Bernard "Buddy" Rich? :-|
Though the answer to your confusion is right in your name.

Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Hopefully this thread in not moving into that "lets utter some blasphemies and provoke the 'faithful' into convulsions of righteous outrage. "Lets knock a big guy and see if it gets people's knickers in a twist", territory.
Just to clarify, Tony Williams is my all time favorite drummer, and Elvin's genius is something I've always marveled at and he's way up there brushing Tony's shoulder on my mantle too.
But I'll be the first to admit, that great as they were, neither of these two guys had the same power as Buddy (for the lack of a better word) to attract "anyone & everyone", the guy- on -the- street to the magic of the drums.
Buddy's playing is also limited in people's minds by his grandstanding solos. You think Buddy , you think drum solo. People forget his all his incredible work with Dorsey, Sinatra, Artie Shaw, Benny Carter, and a whole lot of his sessions, when they talk about his playing.
On the A hole business, no one likes em, but I secretly admire his utter refusal to accept mediocrity. It is the unfortunate side-effect of being a hardcore uncompromising perfectionist who pushed his band often to breaking point ( broke a few horn players in the process too)
So, love him or hate him, appreciate him/or not, or whatever placard you think you need to hang around his neck, he was a defining chapter in the history of drumming, and took it to a whole new level, whether his solos were boring or not or just a bunch of real fast rudiments or whatever..
Walk up to a guy on a street corner and ask him if he's heard of Elvin or Tony? then ask him if he's heard of Buddy Rich.
...and Buddy wasn't a pop star by any stretch of imagination, he wasn't even a Louis Armstrong, or an Ella, or a Frank Sinatra... He was just a drummer.
At best, one can say that this drummer did move the mountain, but I for one, wasn't impressed.
Thats no more than saying what I'm saying. That I prefer listening to Tony more, man, but he didn't do what Buddy did.
nuff said.

Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Let me put this discussion into a different light and angle on things so to speak, Put yourself in the shoes of the man in question and count the Buddy Rich Band into "Time Being" as one of any number of excellent Big Band charts and vehicles played and made famous by this master of drumming and in particular "Big Band drumming".Now as you only have a few seconds at this point to prepare yourself for the challenge ahead of you see how you could see YOURSELF fairing and measuring up on delivering the solid goods at the high level Buddy played at in the context of the music and his high level of soloing in front of a packed house. I think that would quickly put everything is perspective and will still see if some here think he was overated. Get my point:)
By the way I saw Buddy several times live and it was always a thrilling exciting sonic display of 5 star drumming and razor sharp Big Band ensemble playing without any debate on the subject in my book.

I havent read the entire thread so i dont know if this has been posted yet.
Supposedly, this >> http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=w6yekXsbUfc is Buddy Rich's last taped show in 1987. He not only plays a fantastic show, but he also sings, yes he sings!

Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
I too am a great fan of Buddy Rich. I played in Jazz band in college and was able to play a couple of his great swing tunes. Someone has said that he not only is the greatest drummer who ever lived but he mastered his instrument to a level that no musician of any kind could claim the same degree of proficiency. After listening to his solos and music for the last 35 years of my life I would not disagree.
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Wow I just sat down and read this entire thread and I have to say its a good one. To me what made Buddy great wasnt his solos or technique which BTW are amazing. In my eyes what was best about him was the way he drove the band. The guy was a machine.
Some drummers are like pied pipers, they play their little magical tune on the drums and get the band to follow them. Guys like Buddy and Bonham go up punch the the band in the face and say "your coming with me" You can tell the moment the song kicks off they are in charge.
I got to see Buddy right about the time I started playing a few years before he died. My Dad took me to see him and I had heard of him but had know idea what I was in for. Being about 10 or 11 years old in my eyes Jazz was a lesser form of music than the Ozzy and Maiden I was listening to at the time. I remember I didnt really want to go, I though it would be boring. Big Band music was for old farts my Dad just said "trust me kid, you will love it".
When the band came out and Buddy kicked off that first tune my jaw hit the floor. It was so loud and so powerful I didnt know jazz could be so intense. And Buddy being in his late 60's looked like a mad man possesed by some evil drumming demon. What struck me most about that night was not his drum solo but the way commanded the band. He was the force behind the music. That was the single most important event in my drumming life. It was at that moment my persona was born. Not with the chops, or technique. But that attitude that makes every person in that band know that once the song starts I'm in charge.
In my eyes Buddy is the best
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Sorry you missed the amazing experience of witnessing him live in concert with his band at his prime {glad I did!} and obviously my point of putting yourself in his musical shoes to put it all into proper perspective. I'm done with wasting any more on this discussion. Keep listening and hope you "get it" down the road. Later...
Re: The Grand Master Buddy Rich
Let's just say that if Buddy Rich didn't exist, you wouldn't hear alot of the things you hear on drums today. He did alot for this group of musicians
Check out the brand new drum solo!!

A couple was at a private bar late one evening when, of course, the alcohol got hold of one's better judgement.
Something was said, which made the male mad. He was ready to leave, but the female was having a good time and did not want to go home.
So, he grabbed her purse, took her car keys out of it and left the bar in her car.
She decided to show him. She called police and reported her car stolen.
She suggested to the officer that the man took her car to the parking lot down the road so he could pick up his own car. But upon investigation, he did not do this.
The police could not get the male on the phone.
They asked her what she wanted to do and after all that she decided she did not want to provide a statement or press charges or report her car stolen.
She asked the officer to call her a cab home. On the way into her street she spotted her car parked at the end of the road.
No charges were filed.

Photo by The road to becoming a better cyclist is paved not only with the miles you pedal, but the time you spend off the bike. (Lupi Spuma)
Plenty of everyday cyclists log far fewer miles than Horner, yet risk injury, overtraining, and burnout by neglecting this kind of down time. "They think they can't afford to go easy," says Stephen Cheung, PhD, a professor of kinesiology at Brock University in Ontario and coauthor of Cutting-Edge Cycling. "But recovery is just as valuable as training, if not more so."
One of the ways you become a better cyclist is through muscular adaptation. In very basic terms, this is what happens: The stress of training causes micro tears in your muscles. Your body then repairs the damage, which results in an inflammatory response (the swelling and tenderness you feel after a hard workout or race). This rebuilding process creates stronger muscles—but only if the body has adequate time to heal. "If you start your next ride when you're not completely recovered," says Max Testa, MD, chief medical officer for Team BMC and former team doctor with 7-Eleven and Motorola, "your body's at a disadvantage and you'll grow more tired and gain less from each workout."
But recovery isn't just about sitting on the couch with your legs up. It's also about not going hard all the time and using days off wisely. Strategies like low-intensity rides and massage allow your muscles to benefit from all the work you've put in. Here's how to maximize every minute you spend in—and out—of the saddle.
But Isn't Inflammation Good?
You might be wondering why you should limit inflammation if it ultimately helps muscles grow stronger. Some inflammation is good when training, says Testa, but you don't want so much that you're too sore or tired to ride. The muscle-soothing, injury-preventing effects of simple recovery methods can help you face your next hard ride fresh and ready to go. Especially if you're doing a stage race, or a multiday or century ride, Testa says, it's critical to wake up feeling capable of more miles. It's the main reason Tour de France riders put in two to three hours in the saddle on rest days.
