A big band masterpiece bursting with stunning swing and precise rhythm.
The explosive power of the drums resonates with the tension of the ensemble. This is a representative live recording from Buddy Rich's golden age, incorporating elements of 70s jazz rock.
Stormy drumming leads the way, while the thick harmonies of the brass instruments add to the intensity. "Roar Of '74" is a masterpiece that combines Buddy Rich's unparalleled precision in drumming with the explosive energy of a big band. The rhythms are sharp, and each section builds a tense groove. The fast-paced feel of rock intertwines with the improvisational qualities of jazz, presenting a new perspective on jazz in the 1970s. The density of the performance and the realism of the recording are both high, making this a powerful piece worthy of the name "roar."
