Rich's Incredible "Soul"
Captivates Behrend Audience
by Jell %Vearei
Guest Critic
One of the truly great
events in Behrend College's
cultural history occurred last
Monday night at 8 p.m. when
Buddy Rich and his Big Band
performed an awe-inspiring
concert in Erie Hall. Buddy
and his sixteen man band
drove the crowd wild with his
supercharged interpretations
of such great classics of the
Rich library as, Channel One
Suite, West Side Story, and
Love For Sale. They also
performed many tremendous
contemporary selections as
Dancing Men, (from Buddy's
"Rich in London" album, )
What Are You Doing the Rest
of Your Life, and Norwegian
Wood.
But the real generator of
excitement in the band was
Buddy himself. The in
credible feeling, energy, and
drive he puts into his
drumming and the band is
beyond belief. It is this drive
and energy, combined with
phenominal technique, speed,
and exacting control of time
and tempo that makes Rich so
great. To simply look at his
speed and technique alone is
incorrect. You must also
account for his "soul", the
real heart of any jazz artist.
Buddy's Soul
That soul was quite ap
parent last Monday night.
Buddy continuously amazed
and enthralled the audience
during the concert. Rich was
a definite standout on West
Side Story and Channel One
Suite. His solos were model
examples of what can be done
on the drums. The speed and
technique were indescribable
and his feeling and control
were truly beautiful.
Buddy's band was also in
top form. The brass section
was really great. No matter
how difficult or high the
music became, they handled
it with ease. The saxes were
truly excellent. One of the
great highlights of the concert
was the sax solo in Channel
One Suite. It must go down on
record as one of the really fine
performances in jazz history.
The piano and base were also
excellent. They filled out the
rhythm section quite well.
In addition to seeing the
concert, I was able to meet
Buddy and talk with him
about drumming and music in
general. I also had the en
joyable task of helping him
set up. I learned a lot about
Buddy, and his band from
"Imitators and Innovators'
Buddy generally enjoyed
playing at Behrend, and
possibly will return in the
future. He commented that
one drawback in the colleges
and schools today is that the
music departments don't
present students with enough
variety of music. He also said
that there is too much copying
of musical styles and not
enough performer
origionality and that
"imitators hurt innovators".
Rich stated that most of
today's rock is good, but some
is very bad. He feels that two
of the best groups going are
Blood, Sweat & Tears, and
Chicago, and that they have
helped cause a resurgance of
big band jazz because of the
horn influence in its structure.
As far as young drummers
go, Buddy said that too many
over-emphasize technique
and speed. He feels technique
and speed are necessary only
in their relation to the control
of a drummer's playing
ability. He also said that too
many of the drummers
concentrate on just one part of
the drum set. Buddy feels
that the drums should be an
integrated instrument, in that
each drum should be played
in the same proportion as the
other drums. The drummer
should be well-rounded and be
equally effective on all the
drums as a unit. Buddy
stressed that the drummer
Behrend News
A list of Behrend June
graduates has been compiled
which indicates there are 28
students in the Baccalaureate
program who will graduate on
Sunday, June 10. Also 50 students
from the Associate Degree
programs will graduate.
In comparing figures on the
incoming freshman students for
Fall 1973 to last year's report of
the same time, we are 66 students
ahead (paid accepts ), or a total of
513 to 447 in the Baccalaureate
program. The Associate Degree
program reveals we are 4
students ahead-59 to 55. This
comparison is for the first week in
April. Looks good doesn't it?
Dr. Parco has announced that
his Soc. 450 ( Community
Organization) class will devote
the third week of classes to a
general orientation to the central
City NATO. From the fourth
through the eigth week of class,
students will devote their time to
field work in Central City NATO
area. At the conclusion of their
work with NATO. there will be a
presentation of field reports, to be
published at a later date.
Behrend Collegian
should take command of the
band, and not let the band
control the drummer. He
finally commented that
reading drum music is
essential in today's jazz.
So, in the final analysis, in
seeing Buddy Rich and His
Band in concert, Behrend
College has not just seen a
good jazz band, but has been
part of the "Buddy Rich
Experience". We have seen
just a little bit of the magic of
this great man, who has been
playing the drums all his life.
One can be thankful for, in the
great art of jazz drumming,
Buddy Rich is the ultimate.
