Release Notes:
A surprisingly great one from Buddy -- full of
live, liveliness, and energy -- but also coming
across with a depth that goes beyond simple Rich
big band sounds. The album was handled by producer
Norman Schwartz, and looks like it was originally
recorded for his Gryphon label, but probably moved
to RCA at the last minute -- and it's got a solid
feel that's mostly got Buddy working in a straight
big band mode -- searing on solos with players that
include Steve Marcus, Bob Mintzer, and Don Menza.
The players contribute some really great tracks to
the set that push a bit of a funky agenda -- but
never too much -- just enough kick in the rhythm to
make things soulful, and inspire the soloists
accordingly! Titles include "Time Out", "Tales Of
Rhonda Rat", "Ya Gotta Try", "Party Time", "Kong",
and "No Jive".
enjoy!!!
