Buddy Rich and Mel Tormé on Merv Griffin Show - 1978

Griffin show its any the show that receives thousands of letters each week from all over the country but we're gonna stay on the air anyway oh I'm sorry they fired the band well Nick is left as you know we have devoted a number of our shows to the big-band era that time in America's musical history when fans turned out by the thousands to hear the band's Glenn Miller the Dorsey's Benny Goodman of course my former boss Freddie Martin to name a few with us today is a musician who is a product of that musical experience and I'm very happy to add that he is more popular than ever when he performs with that band what you get is the best in contemporary music headed by the world's most famous drummer and one of the world's great colorful characters I might add today we're presenting the sounds the great Buddy Rich that's horrific listen save something your little hands are gonna be hot and red by the time with we finished with his show today and so we'll buddies as a matter of fact what Buddy Rich seems to have done is to take his years of musical know-how and showmanship add a band whose average age is something like 25 years the guys in and I'm talking about not a 25 year old band and he's come up with one of the most dynamic groups to ever offer today's music so while our show involves one of the great big bands what you'll be hearing is not nostalgia but the rest of today here with and to join Buddy Rich is a man who's been a belly laugh getter from the Apollo in Harlem to the Las Vegas Strip and of course is one of televisions most popular comedy stars redfox and I can't tell you how appropriate it is that this next fella is joining us he's not only one of the great interpreters of songs I have seen him perform with Buddy Rich in New York and the experience is singular this man's talents as a singer composer and arranger are very special to everybody who appreciates musical excellence the great Mel Torme now this next comedian might well be experiencing a first in his very long career his one-liners today may get some of the most expensive rim shots in the business in the person of Buddy Rich with us is royalty in comedy the king of the one-liners Henny Youngman and we'll also be entertained by a man who spent over 40 years working in live variety shows he's worked with Frank Sinatra Tony Bennett he's currently with Paul Anka and he's does his unique jazz tap dancing or you might even say drumming with his feet with a man himself Buddy Rich I want to introduce to you today one of the great acts and show business Jack Ackerman is here so as you can see today it's a big salute to Buddy Rich in his van and he'll be surrounded by all his friends the folks who've worked with him over the years ever since he played in vaudeville at the age of seven he was known as baby traps our special guest today has been the most brilliant and dynamic drummer of all time he's now the most active entertainer around today from the big-band era and his drumming is as popular and as brilliant as ever he's the drummer who can fire up a crew of musicians better than anybody I know here he is with his band the mighty Buddy Rich the dressing was a benefit we doing yes sir we're talking about a night two years ago I dropped in to see him in his club in New York it's red one of the great musical experiences of all time thank you oh yeah man whoo Hut yeah well this whole land is hot I'll say I mean is this the hottest man you've ever had since you're going to the post office it is yes that's where I've seen him go right it well what were baby traps hey what was that baby that's the past oh we have a trot well while I was a little kid I play drums and I'm a big kid and I play drums yeah but he's old but starting out you were baby traps yes what parents were invertible and I was brought up in that thing playing drums when I was 2 years old or 3 years old but it's a bore yeah no it's not what would be boring if you were still doing the same act like you come a long way since same thing with a little bit and everything everything missing is a Salus which is the big bands though influenced you the most come along I think every band and every musician that I ever heard and every musician I ever played with you've never heard a bad musician in other words oh I've had a lot of bad musician sound David for whisk me on my bad nights yeah but I mean mostly I've been brought up I was brought up rather with people Count Basie Lester Young Charlie Parker diz and my house and Freddie Martin all the great jazz greats he said his name did you hear it Freddie we'll put that on his next album cover buddy rich said I'm one of the drinks one of the children do you deny me my past is that why you're hitting at me so I didn't know you had one yeah really you recognized the fact is you're the greatest living drummer don't you wait only when I'd like to put everybody add myself on but there are so many really fine young drummers today no I have great respect for a lot of the young players today there's some people like Steve Gadd who does a lot of recording in New York and Harvey Mason out here and the Billy Cobham that I'm not especially crazy about but he isn't you know he's a new breed drummer and thereabout Louie Bellson of course yeah there's it there's Eddie Shaughnessy there's a lot of them you know why so little above today's top 40 why why doesn't it last buddy because they're only good for that period of time when the chart has something to say about it you understand yeah you're in the music business aren't you yeah but if it pays I am it does not get into another business you passed are you kidding no I don't think that this should be such a thing as top 40 there are so many marvelous albums and so much marvelous music being recorded by some great people and unfortunately the other jocks who like to think they have all the power and the station managers who give you a lot of problems about playing jazz or playing good music consequently you are inundated with top 40 garbage and that's the prior 'bitch well have you heard anything you like today I'm all out there's some clean garbage that doesn't offend me but the mostly mostly is rather dumb and there are some great groups really great groups Chicago is a great group blood sweat and tears when they were together were marvelous there's a young group out here tower power that really are knock out a Beatle fan yes and uh a sick on the way on account of my daughter I had to become a fan of Ringo Starr yet right yeah your own daughter had you in the house and chose no one's gonna told me that I held a sticks wrong because Ringo holds him this way cuts a little that she probably was right I don't know are the fans turning out today they're marvelous I just ruined today as a matter fact from Dallas Texas we played the University last night and almost every place that we play most of the work that were involved in involves high schools and colleges and I gotta say that the young people are really into what we're doing and I think they're really becoming more involved with a combination of the what's called jazz fusion today between the rock things and the jazz things and very healthy music and the kids are totally into it and they're very healthy for a while it was really all kind of confined what was old saloon Lewis on one side yeah you know there was a Elton John and his mother Olivia and she I didn't even know that and there was that kind of thing and that kind of took over the music business for a while now fortunately music is getting better we got the punk rock thing hell you were punk rock - thirty years ago yeah but I babe oh yeah but she used to still occasionally stab yourself in the heart I remember though right I asked buddy about this is his new album and he said this is a collector's item and I thought gee that's odd for a guy to say about his own album and I didn't once I said oh I'm sure they're great things in it he said no no no the picture in the front that's the first time I've ever smiled true and that's a lot of smile there's a lot of teeth oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you could play it out play a great number on those yeah yeah no no black keys though you're a lot of trouble what was what you put in here Berlin Berlin Berlin is the thing that was that's another great group that I've buried it like that I forgot to mention it but there's a great group jazz group called weather report yeah and they're marvelous and they had a thing that they wrote called Birdland and we caught copped it we just stole it and said it was good enough for the band bouncing with Bud Basel with butters Ernst Welty's and what Cape Verdean blue yes that's that's called actually that's called coronary blues coronary blues rather for the brass uh no particular human there but I'm just a big killing yeah sack who Chuck where were you surrounded you Cerrone what are you

nicest thing he said to me all day long that's the nicest thing he said all year as a matter of fact it's a nice thing he said all decade I met be at the plating and he had just come out of the Marines and he had to hear about I swear but that long he's practically you thought in on our side no oh he killed a lot of our men yeah he was a karate and strategy no instructor the Marines and I was a in those days before I knew better I was a Buddy Rich worshiper and consequently I met him at the Palladium and he came in the man had not had a pair of drumsticks in his hand this is on a level for probably eight to ten months and Charlie Spivak band was playing and I wrote an article about him in the American Way magazine and I mentioned that night the fact that Bobby Ricci was the drummer and Bobby Ricci sort of reluctantly handed the sticks to Buddy Rich still in his Marine uniform he played an arrangement he'd never ever heard before on Hawaiian War Chant and paralyzed the Palladium paralyzed the audience Bobby Rickey I think went into the clothing business after that I never wanted to play drums again and was that special night a beginning of a whole any return to civilian life no no that was the first night I had gotten out of boot camp I was down in San Diego for about 12 weeks in boot camp and we finally got a three-day pass and I came round up Los Angeles and the Palladium was running full blast in those days right and Charlie's feedback was occurring across the street and I was just I would have played anything with anybody just to get a pair of sticks in my hand you know and so I played which always be they it was a very exciting experience to hang out in those days try to stay awake he actually was we started hanging out almost instantly after that I can't tell who you guys do like and respect name somebody you respect I'd understand smell and melody I can I say that's it can I tell you something seriously huh there are too many singers to sing with the band right yeah you know because I'm not really into singers that much yeah that's why I actually I questioning you dodged it a while was it I said how are singers do you like singers with a band not with the band got on the way like a lot of great sings a lot of great things but I forgot what I was gonna say so what he want to ask it was something nice about me don't stop now for God's
