Free Music Notes for Burning For Buddy: A Tribute To The Music Of Buddy Rich, Vol. 2
Free Music Review: Nice collection of Buddy Rich Music
Hit: 4 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.Free Music Review: These guys can play - a super tribute to Buddy's music!
Hit: 4 Stars
Very cool to hear these drummers with the Buddy Rich Big Band. There is a lot of talent on here and it shows. The Band sounds great. You will enjoy the music as much as the technical aspects of the drum work. "In a Mellow Tone", an Ellington tune I believe, really cooks! Neal Peart did a wonderful job with the production of this CD. This would be rated 5 stars if not for the vocal overdub on Channel 1 Suite. The tribute to Buddy in the liner notes would have been sufficient. You will skip this track. Still, its a good buy.
Free Music Review: Great Band! Bad Channel 1!!!!
Hit: 4 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.Free Music Review: Oh sweet lord, no . .

I loved this CD, I thought it was great. The only thing about this CD that made me a little angry was the application of vocalese to Channel One Suite. Maybe, I'm taking it personally but I think this song is iconographic and it didn't deserve to be tampered with. In this context, the lyrics sounded stilted and maudlin. I'll bet Buddy Rich was turning in his grave after this recording was made.Free Music Review: Should have been a 2-CD set instead of separate albums
Hit: 4 Stars
If you liked Vol. I, then Vol. II is a natural choice. It is an excellent album; however, I gave it only 4 stars because it is comprised of the overflow of recording sessions that wouldn't fit onto Vol. I. Obviously, the best songs were picked for the first volume, but don't let that hinder you from buying this one as well. It is still worth the money.
