Buddy Rich - Time Check (1973)

A uptempo swinging track from the late, great Buddy Rich, who was coined "The Worlds Greatest Drummer". Rich (1917-1987) was without question one of the trailblazers of the instrument, playing with breakneck speed, controlled intensity, passion and verve, influencing countless musicians, (not just drummers) to this very day. Here he is performing "Time Check" with his big band, which consists of Pat LaBarbera on the red hot saxophone and King Crimson's Tony Levin on bass (!) A stunning piece of work here, turn it up and play it often! As a side note, for those that wish to SEE a version of this tune performed with Buddy and his big band, type in Buddy Rich Time Check or check the "Related Videos" box below, and check out some of the outstanding performances posted elsewhere on You Tube.
