i thought the buddy rich piece held up well against the test of time, but i may be biased. he was rocking out pretty hard. shades of keith moon (of the who) and others from later eras.

competancy is dependant on perspective theo, if your goal is to create turmoil, implant american companies into the middle east, control sovereign oil supplies, eliminate free speech in the media, get your buddies rich... man they are on a roll!

I really like these old jazz videos. It's a shame, however, that the synchronization was off. It was particularly apparent when the camera was on Buddy Rich. I'll vote it up, but I wish the quality was better.
