Traps the drum wonder & the great unus.I remember the Great Unus of Ringling Brothers Circus placing a round glove on top of his upright cane-then proceeding to balance himself by standing on his forefinger. Of course that's the answer-it can't be done. Like the Great Unus, is this some kind of magician's trick Mr. Rich is putting on us? -that we really don't hear or see what we think we do?I recall standing with Shelly Manne and Bobby Rosengarden at the Nice Jazz Festival in 1978.

We stood to the right side of the bandstand so Shelly and Bobby could watch Buddy's right foot! Just his right foot! After the set, they looked at each other in disbelief. It was obviously an illusion they had seen.

Buddy Rich and his Band - The Lost West Side Story Tapes Recorded in 1985, the master tapes were thought to have been lost in a fire. They were discovered in 2000, along with the original 'surround sound' digital master, and extensive work was done to bring you this state-of-the-art audio mix. The concert includes Buddy Rich standards 'Cottontail', 'Mexicali Nose', and the unforgettable classic 'West Side Story Medley'.

One thing about these chronological compilations: if the featured musician only rarely acted as a bandleader, what listeners get is a core sample of nearly every recording date he happened to be in on. In the case of Texas tenor Budd Johnson, the people at Classics decided to begin his story with sessions waxed when he was 34 years of age and had been making records as a sideman for more than ten years. This is a pity, as a thorough survey could have begun with his bizarre vocal on Louis Armstrong's "Sweet Sue" (1933), then sampled his work with Lionel Hampton and Earl Hines, up through 1943. That would have lent context and background to this grab bag of primal bebop and R&B, designated as "the first volume of the recordings of Budd Johnson"…
