Buddy Rich Plays “Willowcrest”

Posted 8 months ago



Another composition receiving its debut that evening was "Willowcrest" by Bob Florence who had been working with his own band along with Buddy's at Pacific Jazz. It's a brooding opus opening with the saxes blowing up a wistful breeze against a steady, grooving beat. Watch for solos by trumpeter Bobby Shew set against just Buddy and rhythm before Jay Corre on tenor sax plays a desperate sounding solo that is powerfully driven against Rich who gets another complex rhythmic solo that keeps driving the band to new heights.
