does anyone have the original emarcy copy of Buddy Rich, the Driver, theres a brilliant vibe solo by Mike Manieri, absolutely breakneck speed, alovely tune called a Swinging serenade, and two swinging Versions of Night in Tunisia and straight no chaser, superb small combo jazz. It was the second album i bought in 1980, and it changed my life? when i met mike years later when he did an interview on jazz Fm in london, he wanted to buy the lp from me. Apparrently buddy asked him to play with him at some gig. Mike just went with the flow, Buddy sacked the band, but hired Mike, Mike said he was scared stiff, but managed to keep up with the man.recently i got a mint promo copy from states for $20 what a steal. This lp came out in 1956 i think, isent even mentioned on his website? Can anyone confirm release date, mike you usually tend to know everything, paul
