Here is overwhelming evidence of the difference a drummer can make in a mass of trumpets and saxes....Rich's mark remains no less evident here than it was a generation earlier in the Artie Shaw band."

Where do you start? It's all been said by better folk than I. When I was 15 I sat 6 feet away from him at Ronnie Scott's - my tongue hung from my mouth for over two hours. Walking home through dimly lit Soho streets all I could think of was that expression of pure concentration and how he yelled at the band throughout. "Shape up! Shape up!" And my god how they shaped up. They broke the swingometer! This album conveys that club atmosphere and every time I listen to it I travel back to those early hours in a packed Jazz club when as a young man I witnessed the greatest drummer that has ever lived. Go buy this CD and if you don't like it then perhaps music is not a leisure choice for you after all.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The best
I'm 48 and was introduced to this album by my father. We had the vinyl back in the 70's. It's now an absolute favourite on my Ipod. The title song and Love for Sale are my favourites. The puncutation of Rich's drumming and the drive he generates is astounding. The amazing thing is, for a live album recorded 40 years ago, the energy of the perfomrance is palpable even now. I love the yelling when the numbers really heat up. A truly great album.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Desert Island Classic
Norwegian Wood was an essential part of the Rich book until he left the scene, and this version is the classic, the best of them all. There simply is not a bad chart on the date, and the recording, engineered by Wally Heider, is best appreciated at high volume through very expensive speakers.
An absolutely essential jazz recording.

Like the legendary A LOVE SUPREME, John Coltrane's CRESCENT is one of the most revered albums of his career. The classic Coltrane quartet is in prime form as Tyner, Garrison and Jones form a tight bond with their leader in a stunning display of expression and musical interaction. Coltrane stretches and contorts his sound to construct solos of mesmerizing beauty as on the opening title ...
