"My father was a fan, so around our house on the record player was always Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Sinatra, Tony Bennett and so on. "I grew up with big-band music," he explains over the phone. Albums include Big Swing Face, Krupa and Rich, and The Roar of '74.So what prompted him to produce a Buddy Rich tribute album? Well, it all goes back to his childhood.1960: The Drum Battle (Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich at JATP) (Verve) 1964: The Best of Buddy Rich (Pacific Jazz) 1969: Super Rich (Verve) 1971: Time Being (Bluebird/RCA) 1987: Compact Jazz: Buddy Rich (Verve) 1990: Compact Jazz: Gene Krupa & Buddy Rich (Verve) 1992: No Jive (Novus) 1994: Burning For Buddy: A Tribute to the Music Of Buddy Rich (Atlantic Records) Produced By Neil Peart 1998: Krupa and Rich.
So I saw that potential in big-band music, and kind of had an idea for a long time that I'd like to give it a go."Peart got his chance in 1991, four years after Rich's death. In Rush, we like to have our music well-arranged and presented, but then have freedom within that structure to express ourselves. "There are certain parallels, too, in the way the music is constructed. "It was the only other style of music I could imagine being satisfied by, other than what I did in Rush," he says. Amongst his bands best known recordings are the vocals with Anita ODay, featured here.Still, Peart retained a lingering fascination with big-band music.
The word we nailed down between us, Cathy and I, was 'appropriate.' These people had to be appropriate for the project - not only to maintain the dignity of paying tribute to Buddy, but also to be able to do the job. "Then from the modern arena, we wanted some people from the session-musician background, from the jazz background and from the rock background."But all players were chosen both for their prominence and their excellence. "We wanted some of the old-timers, like Joe Morello and Max Roach and Ed Shaughnessy, who were Buddy's peers," says Peart. I wanted it to be perfect so badly."Rather than brood over the concert's failings, Peart "got over my disappointment and replaced that with a resolve to do it again sometime." A few years later, when space unexpectedly opened in Rush's schedule, Peart decided he'd found his "sometime" and called Cathy Rich about assembling a tribute album.Between them, they came up with a list that spanned a wide range of talent and reputation. Ultimately, that caused me to be a little disappointed with how it came out, because my expectations, as usual, were too high. "It was a concert with six different drummers appearing with the band, so there were obvious technical and technological difficulties involved.
Ultimately, we could do it. Given a certain amount to time to prepare yourself, if you are a half-decent professional, you should be able to adapt to a different style - in the same way Kenny Aronoff and I really had to work hard to dive into the deep end of a traditional swing-band arrangement. There are just drummers.'"It is true. "At the end of the first take, one of the horn guys said, 'Hey, who is this guy?' Matt stood up and gave the forefinger and baby finger salute with both hands, and said, 'I'm the heavy metal drummer.' "An unlikely image, sure, but Sorum's sure command of the drum set through his selection, "Beulah Witch," puts him on par with everyone else on "Burning for Buddy." As Peart puts it: "It's like Buddy always said about drummers: 'There are no rock drummers and jazz drummers. "When Matt came in to record, there he was, all tattoos and nipple rings and dyed blond hair and everything," Peart recalls. Take, for example, the session of Matt Sorum of Guns N' Roses.
