Post Description

Rescued from obscurity by Paul Gonsalves, 

At the Top was a one-hour '73 performance of Buddy Rich and the Buddy Rich Big Band originally broadcast on Public Television in the United States.
While the audio quality is a touch muddy, symptomatic of the recording capabilities for television at the time, it serves as an outstanding document of Rich as bandleader, arranger and performer. Bold and brash, never short on ego, Rich led his big band like an army troop and the result was an ensemble where not a note was missed, not a beat dropped.
