Just In Time: The Final Recording [Deluxe Edition] (LP)
Buddy Rich
Amoeba Review
Buddy Rich's final performance at Ronnie Scott's in London was in November of 1986, and the magic of that swinging set is now available on Just In Time: The Final Recordings. The players are impeccable and include Rich's daughter Cathy on vocals for “Twisted” (Annie Ross). She also wrote the album's liner notes. Ronnie Scott introduces Rich as “the world's greatest drummer” and the 70-year-old legend did not disappoint with on-point energetic numbers like Sammy Nestico's “Wind Machine” and Freddie Hubbard's “Up Jumped Spring.”
