"There's Buddy Rich and then there's everybody else." Mel Tormé

On Just in Time:

“Swing perfection.” Marc Myers, Jazz Wax

“Excellent.” Will Friedwald, The Wall Street Journal

Gearbox presents the final ever recording of the legendary, influential drummer Buddy Rich, whose impact across jazz, rock, funk and soul is unrivalled to this day. The performances took place over 2 nights, the 19th & 20th of November 1986, at Ronnie Scott’s in London, UK.

This is a vitally important release, it being the final ever recording of Rich. He was considered at the time to be the best drummer in the World and was still very much at the top of his game, as can be heard from the recording. Having remained unreleased for over 30 years, and following a labour of love from Rich's own family, the music can now finally be heard by the public.

From the liner notes, written by Buddy's daughter:

"My dad chose set lists for the two nights that I hadn’t heard before. He was always brilliant in choosing the right sets, but this time he shied away from the tried and true and went to places musically that were very different. It was as if he knew that he didn’t have to prove anything anymore and could relax and go wherever he wanted and enjoy it. I think the end result proves just that. For two incredible nights I got to sit in the audience and cheer right along with everyone else. I will always remember that time as one of the greatest moments in my life. Now I can revel in the fact that, thankfully, his last recordings were caught on tape for all of us to enjoy forever.

It has taken thirty-three years to finally get these recordings out. An absolute labor of love that I never gave up on. At times it was quite a struggle, but in the end it was all about the music.”

史上最強と言われるアメリカの白人ジャズ・ドラマー、バディ・リッチは最高峰のテクニック、パワー、スピード、スウィング感でジャンルを超え、1987年に69歳で死去するまでトップ・ドラ マーとしてリスナーとミュージシャン双方を魅了し続けた。亡くなる5か月前には英名門ジャズ・ クラブ、ロニー・スコッツで彼の最後のコンサートとなった公演を敢行し、今作『ジャスト・イン・ タイム・ザ・ファイナル・レコーディング』はそのライヴ音源を収録したアルバムである。リッチ の愛娘キャシーもヴォーカルで参加している。

今作『ジャスト・イン・タイム・ザ・ファイナル・レコーディング』は、1986年11月19日・20日 にロンドンのジャズ・クラブ、ロニー・スコッツで録音された。1970年代からバンドの要として在籍しているスティーヴ・マーカス(テナー・サックス)以外は若いメンバーばかりだが、最後まで非常に多くの公演旅行をこなしてきたリッチ・ビッグ・バンドだけに、バンドの息の合い方はたいへんなもの。1960年代後半に、『トゥモロウ・ネヴァー・ノウズ』『Count's Rock Band/伯爵とロック』など、ジャズとロックを融合させたサウンドでスターになったスティーヴ・マーカスは、1970年代半ばにバディ・リッチ・ビッグ・バンドに加入し、リッチが亡くなるまでバンドを 支えた。ファンキーさとモーダルな雰囲気を両立させたマーカスのソロは、リッチのビッグ・バンドのもうひとつの”顔”だったとさえ言える。
「Twisted」でフィーチャーされているリッチの娘で歌手のキャシー・リッチは、このリッチ・ビッグ・バンドにつして次のように話している。 「バンド・メンバーは、全員数年間ずっと一緒にプレイしていた。父にとって、その数年は永遠を意味する。彼らは最高にかっこいい、最も団結力のあるミュージシャンのグループで、父は長年彼 らを起用し、彼らとの日々に幸せを感じていたのは明らかだった。長年父の姿を見てきたが、彼 らと一緒の時の父が一番リラックスし、ゆとりを持っていたと思う。不安もなく、心配もなく、そして問題もない。それは皆の演奏から、そして父自身の演奏からも明確に伝わってきた。彼らの演奏は、音楽のレーザー・ビームだった。15人が合わさり、まるで一人のように音が奏でられる」。

ローリング・ストーンズが所有するモービル・スタジオによって録音されたこのライヴは、クリアで迫力のある音質のよさも際立っている。特にリッチのドラミングの細部がくっきりと捉えられていることが、リッチのファンとしては何よりもうれしい。
