Overview

Billed as "the world's greatest drummer," Buddy Rich's jazz drumming is highlighted in this DVD of 3 of his unedited 1982 performances.

In 1982, Buddy Rich filmed 3 shows over 3 days at the Statler Hotel in New York. They were never aired”in fact, never edited. This event, Buddy Rich: Up Close DVD, is a special edit of The Buddy Rich Show. It spotlights 6 songs with as many cameras as possible focusing on Buddy and his incredible drumming technique. Not only can you view the show's main edit, but you will also get 3 different versions of audio as well as a slow motion version for catching the nuances of Buddy's drum performances.

Modern Drummer magazine commented, "Whether you're a longtime Buddy fan or you're just discovering his talents, this DVD, which features 6 songs performed by Buddy Rich and filmed in a club with Rich's big band, is one to check out . . . Fun and inspiring, with lots of wow."
