Two of the most extrovert personalities in post-WW2 jazz are master-drummer Buddy Rich and bootin' tenor sax star (and fellow New Yorker) Flip Phillips. Rich was a speed demon with an incredible techique and an ego to match, Phillips a take-no-prisoners firebrand and (like Rich) a Jazz At The Philharmonic superstar.
The careers of both players crisscrossed on numerous occasions, but it was when they played together in small group settings that their partnership reached its zenith.
Never more so than in the Quartet that Buddy took to The Dream Bar of Miami Beach's Johnina Hotel. The year? 1957!
This is a swing-into-bop masterclass that vividly captures the foursome close up and very personal.
This release also includes an extremely rare session taped in an L.A. studio three years earlier when Buddy and Flip bookended the Oscar Peterson Trio to great effort.
Things really don't get much better than this.
