Sixteen pieces strong, the Buddy Rich Big Band Machine takes over Myron's with the kind of horn-driven swing and thundering rhythm that made Buddy Rich a legend behind the kit. Cathy Rich, Buddy's own daughter, leads the charge on vocals, her voice gliding over the band's charts with an easy, smoky warmth. Meanwhile, Emmy-winning drummer Gregg Potter takes his place at the drums, tearing through solos with the kind of speed and precision that pays tribute to Rich's untouchable legacy.

Myron's intimate room, with its round tables and close-up sightlines, makes for a fitting setting to hear a big band at full volume without losing any of the detail. Horns snap, brushes hiss across snare heads, and the whole room seems to lean into the groove together. For anyone who loves the golden era of big band jazz, or just wants to feel a genuine rhythm section pushing air across a room, this one delivers plenty to listen for.
