The Great Al Porcino Playing Some Wonderful Lead trumpet !

@midlandsroylenfield Жыл бұрын

thanks so much. i went to Birmingham town hall in 1966 to see the so called '' world's greatest drummer'' and was prepared for a weak copy of Gene Krupa. of course i was utterly blown away by how drums could be played and remained a fan for life of Buddy and his unique talent. There has never been another like him and somehow i don't think there ever will be. God bless Buddy.

Met Buddy between performances at Central Hall, Chatham, Kent c. 1968. My dad bought tickets for both shows, he was such a fan. Asked at the stage door if ‘Mr Rich’ would sign the albums he bought along. Stage hand disappeared and came back and said “Mr Rich has asked you be shown to his dressing room”. Wow! I was only 15 but already a fan. He was so nice to us and as he had been told we were doing both shows, asked me if I had a request. I said ‘Rotten Kid’. In the second show he mentioned he’d met a nice family earlier and said “This one’s for Tony - take it away!” I’m 70 now and will never forget it. I have the signed programme but have passed the signed albums to my son, a drummer and another fan of the best swing band drummer ever! Mr Buddy Rich!

When it comes to Buddy Rich this film presentation is most most welcome to all of us Buddy Rich Fans. You know there is not one drum book out there not one music school that can show you the way the super fantastic way Buddy Rich played a set of drums. I remember one of his articles were he said I know nothing about paradiddles or ratamacues what ever I decide to play I play if it comes out good I am lucky. I think of his drumming skills as magic formulas that can never be duplicated. Buddy added his own creativity often times mind boggling. Still today he holds the title of Greatest Drummer to Draw Breath. Gene Krupa said that and it still is the right way the Buddy Rich way never to be duplicated. One of a Kind.

I'm surprised nobody tried to break down Buddy's snare drum technique. He often used stick shots which are hardly ever used by other drummers. Louie Bellson and Butch Miles used them but not to the extent that Buddy did. He kept the left stick on the snare and hit it with the right stick all the time. Whenever he did fills, it was like his little warmup lick before hitting toms or whatever. He was one of a kind. There will never be another like him.

It was great to see Skip Shortledge on trumpet. I took lessons from him briefly in 1966 when he taught kidsin the Cerritos College Music program under Jack Wheaton in SouthernCalifornia. I credit Skip as a major inspiration in my young life when he told my parents I had great potential in trumpet. No adult outside of my parents had ever spoken to me with respect as did Skip. From that point on I was a trumpet player. I never recalled what happened to Skip after those lessons. Now I'm happy to see he went on to play with Buddy Rich.

Don Menza cuts through time. 50 years ago. Now. 50 years from now, it doesn't matter. Same with Boddy. There never was and never will be a moment like this again in any music attempt.

It's something to hear Buddy "unplugged" with his comments. You're seeing particles of the real guy and not the funny guy you see on Carson.Still, the greatest ever...EVER.

Glad to see the full thing. I knows there’s a clip out there somewhere that was uploaded something like 14 years ago of behind the scenes interview stuff but I’m glad there’s now the whole thing to share. This concert reminds me of how Rick Stepton absolutely killed those bone solos. Incredible stuff. Thank you

Aldeburgh Festival Hall.. TV show was entitled "Jazz At The Maltings", taped by BBC 2-TV and telecast 10 Oct '68. Actually, it's Switzer and Stepton, to be accurate. Thanks very much for posting!

Al Porcino did some dates with Larry Elgart. I was on the band and had a chance to hang out with Al. He told me that his favorite drummer was Tiny Kahn. Kahn played drums and arranged for the orchestra. Check out Terry Gibbs big band. He featured Kahn's arrangements.

Interesting as he was talking about his wife getting upset with the amount of time he spends on the road; "That's her problem because I always ask her to travel with me." He then says, "This is my business. And I love my business more than anything else."

Note the baritone sax and baritone trombone, many big bands did not use such instruments (particularly baritone trombone) or even have four players in each section (partially due to costs) but Buddy's bands at this time did. The baritones really amps up the low end. Oliver Nelson's arrangements for Buddy's band in the 60's are fantastic. His orchestrations might have been the reason Buddy's band used these instruments.

Love the interview portions, well done. Unfortunately the sound of the band is mostly bad...but don't miss the West Side Story medaly at the end....it's KILLER.
