Life Goes On Records present a reissue of Rich Versus Roach, a 1959 studio album by drummers Buddy Rich and Max Roach with their respective bands of the time. The album is mixed with each of the two bands in a different stereo channel. Two musical geniuses here at work and there is no clear winner. If you listen very closely to the artistries of the two great drummers, this album is very interesting. This legendary meeting was truly a battle of the drummers! Though the set's a very unusual one for Buddy -- as the group here features players normally associated with Max Roach -- bring in some great solo moments when needed! Rich also brings a few of his key men to the set, too -- including Phil Woods on alto and Willie Dennis on trombone -- on titles that include "Sleep", "The Casbah", "Limehouse Blues", and "Big Foot". Buddy Rich band: Buddy Rich - drums, percussion; Phil Woods - alto saxophone; Willie Dennis - trombone; Phil Leshin - double bass; John Bunch - piano. Max Roach: Max Roach - drums; Stanley Turrentine - tenor saxophone; Julian Priester - trombone; Tommy Turrentine - trumpet; Bobby Boswell - double bass.
