Buddy the Great.......2006-11-05

Excellent CD. If you're a BR fan then you'll love this CD.
Have fun with it.

Great, clean sound.......2006-06-20

Some of the best big band music I've heard. The sound is clean and sharp, the improv is excellent, and (of course) the drumming is fantastic. I particularly like Norwegian Wood... listen for the trumpets at the top of the climax! Buddy Rich himself was apparently a mean old man, but his band made great music. A must have.

Tight swinging Rich band.......2005-10-27

Big Swing Face shows the Buddy Rich band of the late 60s and it was a good one with Jay Corre, Ernie Watts, and Bobby Shew. It lacks the long Rich solos found on other albums. Bugle Call Rag features a longer solo and so does Apples but other than that it's Rich backing the band. Some songs sound dated like Wack Wack and Norwegian Wood. The Beat Goes On has Rich's daughter singing and it's not very good. Love For Sale is an oustanding piece as is Big Swing Face and Chicago. Many of the tunes were on The New One studio album of the same time which I prefer because it features more of Rich's playing. Not a bad album though at all and the band really swings.

Impressive.......2005-01-08

You can play this album throughout several times and not remember one tune.

But what you will remember is the great sound from the band here and Buddy's banging, plus the fact it was done live which always helps.

One of the best big band albums ever.......2004-09-21

I never get tired of listening to this CD, and what a bonus you get on the CD vs. the LP-- lots of additional music. If I had to pick two big band CD's to listen to, this would be one of them. The other would be Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band "Swinging for the fences".

This band is tight and talented. It's a must for any serious collection.
