About Buddy Rich & Max Roach
It’s a battle of the bands and two of the greatest drummers in jazz are duking it out on their collaborative CD, “Rich versus Roach”. Buddy Rich and Max Roach pulled no punches in this friendly but fierce competition. Gigi Gryce composed scores that would utilize all men as an ensemble, yet allow jump-off points for soloists in each rhythm section. The real battle began on “Figure Eights” as Buddy and Max went back to their drums performing three choruses of alternate eight-bar solos without the assistance of their bands. This exchange of musical brilliance became so heated that it went on for more than four minutes. Packed with swingin’ hits like “Big Foot” where Rich and Roach dramatically break up four 12-bar choruses and “Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)” featuring the harmonic talent of Bobby Boswell, this classic feature will be sure to double your listening pleasure.
