Broadside of the Month Club: Clams!!. No.9/Sep / Buddy Rich., 2005

 Item
Identifier: CC-48609-69641
Scope and Contents

Buddy Rich (1917-1987) was considered one of the best jazz drummers of all time. He also led a big band. Although Rich was usually helpful and friendly, he had a short temper. In many instances, he took advantage of the respect he commanded. While he threatened many times to fire members of his band, he seldom did so, and for the most part he lauded his band members during television and print interviews. Rich's temper, mercurial attitude and imposing personality are attested to in secret recordings members of his band made of some of tantrums on tour buses and backstage. These recordings, long circulated in bootleg form, have done much to fuel the reputation of Rich's personality. The tapes were popular with comedians Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David who used his foul language almost verbatim. This broadside is a printing of one such example. Note that one cardboard folder houses all the Broadsides of the Month. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
