Milestones Jazz Club kicks-off the 2010 summer programme of concerts on Sunday 4 July with a tribute to Buddy Rich featuring The Graeme Culham Sextet.Hatfield Hotel, Lowestoft
Buddy Rich was the archetypal swinging jazz drummer and fellow musician Graeme Culham has put together an up-to-date tribute to his musical hero.
‘Buddy’s Review’ is a performance of tunes based on the original big and small band arrangements that highlight the energy and swagger of Rich’s fifty-year career.
The sextet was formed in 2008 and its hard-swinging style utilizes a tight and punchy approach, full of intelligent, forthright improvisation.
Once described by the late, great Ronnie Scott as “one of the best drummers that I know of”, Graeme’s own drumming is reminiscent of Buddy Rich’s incendiary style, making him ideal to lead this young band.
Graeme has worked as a professional musician since the age of 17 including forming his own big band in 1983 and has been heard on numerous TV and radio broadcasts and with Snowboy on the Acid Jazz record label.
Graeme has learnt his art from working with top British and American musicians such as Buddy Tate, Dick Morrissey, Peter King, Ronnie Scott and Don Rendell.
The band’s full line-up features Graeme Culham (drums), Chris Lamberti (trumpet), Zak Barrett (saxes), Gareth Lumbers (saxes / flute), Dan Banks (piano) and Andy Staples (bass).
