Buddy Rich and His Sextet

Rolf Ericson - Trumpet

Sam Most - Flute, Alto Sax

Mike Mainieri - Vibes

Johnny Morris - Piano

Wyatt Ruther - Bass

Buddy Rich - Drums

Recorded August, 1961

Opinions?

I understand there is an alternate take of "I Remember Clifford"

on this new release. I don't have this on vinyl so I will probably

pick up the CD.

Also, one of the few opportunities to hear Rolf Ericson's playing.

I really enjoy his playing on his EmArcy album. How did he come to play with Buddy anyway? I thought he was based in Europe?????

No alternate takes in LPR series, just the LP.

Very nice Late Date & I Remember Clifford, but too much Buddy's solo drums for my taste on Blowin' the blues away & Caravan.

Thank you for the info. Cayetano.

It's probably worth having for "I Remember Clifford" alone.

Fortunately Buddy couldn't figure out a way to work a drum

solo into that one.

I agree with you that Buddy was often times overpowering

in a small group setting but I guess he was entitled to do it

his way and certainly there was nobody who was going to stop him. :g

In general I prefer Louie Bellson's approach to leading

small groups but Buddy's style certainly worked well

in a big band context.
