Thankyou J. Carson Estate/Cathy Rich for putting this out on Y.T. It is the finest quality! I know there would be a market for a DVD(s) of Buddy's appearances on the Tonight Show. Drummers worldwide would be forever grateful. Their friendship is fun to see again in these amazing shows.

@coldwinter5710 Of course. What is your exact argument? So I can answer clearly. Tooti died recently. One of the best blues drummers of all time. Buddy Rich one of my first to watch. As a learning percussionist. I became more than just a drummer. I won't list every type of instrument, I have played. Make your point. Just for clarification. If you wish. Your opinion seems cloudy.

your right man. I played drums for Don Menza and Art Pepper both on Buddy"s Caesar's palace album, knew Freddy Gruber and guys from Buddy"s band and they all said the same thing you said. I saw Buddy at disneyland in 1969 3 nights. it was like watching God zapping Buddy with superhuman abilities. He's the GOAT these other guys are great but have to practice and dont have the natural gift and charisma. Jeff Porcaro was another one that didnt practice and had the charisma and natural talent but played a much simpler type of music but equally as entertaining. Thank God I was lucky to see all the greats.

It’s a weird thing… Buddy rich is a phenomenon. A guy whose life Spans the history of jazz from just after it’s beginning until the mid-1980s and who is gifted (mainly from starting in infancy) with chops no one could touch. It’s so important to get these clips out in the public domain as much as possible because buddy’s playing will speak to young drummers for generations to come. Having good clear copies of these things is very important. For the furtherance of music education. Either way, thanks again… And looking forward to the next find.

He was the nicest guy. When he played at Disneyland at I think it was called Carnation Garden during the summer. Early 70s. He’d sit on his drum chair and talked to me and a friend about music. All this during breaks. Although I wasn’t a musician he still knew I loved a variety of music and loved talking to us. We were about 17 at the time. I think he just enjoyed hearing our youthful perspective on the state of music. Great old memory.
