Guitar Connection: The Buddy Rich Collector's Edition

Description

This 2-disc set is a compilation of the Emmy Award-winning Channel One Suite DVD and The Lost West Side Story Tapes DVD. Lost for over a decade, and damaged in a fire, the tapes were recovered and have been digitally restored. Preserving a historical moment in jazz history, this edition reunites these two sets exactly as they were recorded in 1985. The performance was among the first ever recorded in Surround Sound, and the original tracks have been reconstructed in Dolby and DTS Surround formats for the DVDs. The end result is a bird's eye view of Buddy and the Buddy Rich Band at the climax of a legendary career. Added to the original shows are bonus tracks, interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, clips of Buddy from the Johnny Carson Show and rare photos from the Rich family archives. New to this package is Steve Smith's commentary on Channel One and a 16-page booklet filled with photos and remembrances. At 67 years old, this performance shows Buddy at his best. This collection is a must have for any Buddy Rich fan. Total Running Time: 3 hours, 32 minutes.
