Title: Nice collection of Buddy Rich Music
Review: This album is a prtty good collection of Buddy Rich tunes performed by some of today's best drummers. The band is great and for the most part, so are all of the drummers. There are two outstanding performances. Steve Smith on "Moments Notice" is a great rendition of the Coltrane classic. Steve blends taste and supurb technique. The other great tune is "Groovin Hard" with David Garibaldi. For those who thought Garibaldi could only do well in a fusion/funk setting, think again. This tune smokes. Dave Garibaldi shows that a solid, creative drummer can play anything well. Other good tunes are "Time Check" with Dave Weckl and "Standing Up In A Hammock" with Marvin Smith. Although Marvin really shines brighter on Burnin for Buddy Volume 1 when he plays "You Gotta Try." This is a good collection for those who are familiar with Buddy's music.
