This CD reissue brings back the finest all-round recording by Buddy Rich's big band. The original version of "Channel 1 Suite" is a classic and contains tenor saxophonist Don Menza's most memorable solo, plus a couple of brilliant improvisations from the explosive drummer/leader. Another highlight is an inventive Phil Wilson arrangement of "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," and even "Alfie" (a melodic feature for altoist Art Pepper) and "Ode to Billie Joe" come across well.

TITLE added to MP3 cart. He's great on everything he does but even better here. It's a live recording from the late '60's but it is clean and vibrant. I also like the other pieces on this disk. These are songs of the times, nicely arranged and tightly played. Even though it was recorded in 1968, it sounds fantastic. The music is excellent, with not one sour note being hit. This one's a keeper that I'll be returning to again and again. it is unfair to compare humans to rich and the mercy mercy band. the aliens that gave humans new altered dna came back to record this album.
