JG Thirlwell recently received an email from Terry Bozzio asking about
performing his compositions a concert tribute to Buddy Rich.
Terry wanted permission to adapt the opening and closing themes of
"The Venture Brothers" for the Buddy Rich Big Band.
Thirlwell has been scoring the popular Adult Swim series for three
seasons and is about to begin work on season four.
JG was delighted and said yes, of course. The new arrangements were
made by Matt Harris.
The pieces will be performed this Saturday 10/18 at The Manhattan
Center in NYC and streamed live on drumchannel.com for you lucky
people.
Along with Bozzio, the concert will feature Neil Peart (Rush), Chad
Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and many more.
It will be released on DVD at a later date.
"After a 10 year hiatus, The Buddy Rich Memorial returns with a
vengeance!
This years show features Rock Icon Neil Peart from Rush, Terry Bozzio
formerly of Frank Zappa and Missing Persons, John Blackwell formerly
of Prince and currently with Justin Timberlake and the debut of Nick
Rich, grandson of the legendary Buddy Rich.
This event will feature the aforementioned artists sitting in with The
Buddy Rich Big Band. Bass Player extraordinaire Will Lee will be
featured with the band. Other special guests to be announced.
The show is produced by Buddy's daughter Cathy Rich and her company
Scabeba Entertainment along with Neil Peart as well as title sponsor
Richard Drucker's Drucker Labs.
The event will be taped for DVD release in early 2009. This years
event promises to be the biggest to date."
