Buddy Rich And His Orchestra • Richcraft

 

Review
by Jason Ankeny
Richcraft pairs Buddy Rich with arranger Ernie Wilkins, yielding the most soulful and swinging set of the drummer's Mercury tenure. Wilkins' bold, exuberant arrangements keep the spotlight squarely on Rich while also making the utmost of the session's roll call of A-list players (Phil Woods, Harry "Sweets" Edison, and Benny Golson among them) -- unlike so many lesser Rich dates, the drums never obliterate the other instruments in their path. Credit the name above the title here as well, of course -- Rich's drumming boasts an economy on par with its trademark energy, and songs like "Yardbird Suite" and "From the Sticks" positively crackle with excitement.

Reseña
por Jason Ankeny
Richcraft une a Buddy Rich con el arreglista Ernie Wilkins, dando como resultado el conjunto más conmovedor y con más swing de la etapa del baterista en Mercury. Los atrevidos y exuberantes arreglos de Wilkins mantienen el foco de atención en Rich, a la vez que aprovechan al máximo el elenco de músicos de primera línea de la sesión (Phil Woods, Harry "Sweets" Edison y Benny Golson, entre otros). Por supuesto, también hay que reconocer el nombre por encima del título: la batería de Rich hace gala de una economía a la par que de su energía característica, y canciones como "Yardbird Suite" y "From the Sticks" crepitan positivamente con emoción.
