CD Reviews

Great Band! Bad Channel 1!!!!

08/17/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The band it always tight and really swings. All the charts are enjoyable to listen to except for Channel 1 Suite. If you purchase this cd, do not listen to Channel 1, EVER!! Just pretend that it is not on the cd. They took one of the greatest tunes of all time and massacred it. If you do listen to Channel 1, you will never be able to listen to the real version of it without having these stupid lyrics run through your head. However the rest of the cd is fantastic and definately worth getting."

Great album - but lose the vocals!

05/25/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Another shining example,as was the first volume, of a tribute by some of todays outstanding drummers to Buddy's music. Sadly marred by the contrived vocal nonsense that is overdubbed on Channel 1 Suite.(Trust the Logan family to turn art into a pantomime!) Obviously respectfully intended,it only serves to irritate and detract from what was, after all, one of the bands most popular charts. Avoid and enjoy what is otherwise an excellent album."

A Teaching Tool

Stuart Dorsey | Baldwin City, KS United States | 05/20/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"There seems to be a strong consensus that listeners should skip the over-dubbed "Channel One." Ditto, but the real clinker on this otherwise excellent CD is "Goodbye Yesterday," played by Simon Phillips. This was always one of my favorite Rich charts, one of many fine efforts by Don Piestrup in his book. I was enthused to see it included in Part II, especially since I had never heard him play it live in a dozen or so concerts. But I have to say that Simon Phillips' work left me speechless. He has absolutely NO CLUE! Just listen to Buddy's work on the "Mercy, Mercy" album and then follow up with this one. Was he kidding? Why would Neal Peart include this disastrous cut? We are not talking about the impossibility of playing up with The Master, here, but just complete misinterpretation. This album is a great teaching tool. Novice drummers will learn much by listening to the original cuts, and then the new versions. Some very lame big band drumming can be contrasted with great work by Smitty Smith, Dave Weckle, and Joe Morello. Neal Peart clearly is the best of the rockers."

Not as bad as everybody says

Derek Munson | Tri-Cities (Richland), WA USA | 02/16/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Seems like 10 out of the 12 reviews will tell you that the rendition of Channel One Suite on this album (with the vocalese bio about Buddy's life) is terrible and takes away from the album. Though I agree with the guy above (about hearing the lyrics in your head when you hear the original version), I don't feel like it's as bad those guys are all making it out to be. I was actually pretty astounded that they could create such a lengthy vocalese in celebration of Buddy's life. Yes, it can be seen as cheesy and overdramatic, but some of us listeners appreciated it, an for those who doubtlessly spent hours working on it, I'm sure they're disheartened to see you other reviewers hating on it. As to whether Buddy would come off his rocker if he heard it, I'm guessing he wouldn't. The song was in tribute to him, and who wouldn't feel flattered with a song written about their own lives? I know I would, pop vocals or not. :)"

Nice collection of Buddy Rich Music

Derek Munson | 04/03/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This album is a prtty good collection of Buddy Rich tunes performed by some of today's best drummers. The band is great and for the most part, so are all of the drummers. There are two outstanding performances. Steve Smith on "Moments Notice" is a great rendition of the Coltrane classic. Steve blends taste and supurb technique. The other great tune is "Groovin Hard" with David Garibaldi. For those who thought Garibaldi could only do well in a fusion/funk setting, think again. This tune smokes. Dave Garibaldi shows that a solid, creative drummer can play anything well. Other good tunes are "Time Check" with Dave Weckl and "Standing Up In A Hammock" with Marvin Smith. Although Marvin really shines brighter on Burnin for Buddy Volume 1 when he plays "You Gotta Try." This is a good collection for those who are familiar with Buddy's music."
