LaBarbera, John: Countin' Them Long White Lines

Recorded on the Buddy Rich album "A Different Drummer" as Part 2 of "A Piece Of The Road Suite," this rock outing with repeating rhythmic figures keeps everyone on their toes. It opens with an unaccompanied ad lib conga or drumset solo, followed by a full-band shout, a sax soli, and solo space for tenor. A gradual fade 20 bars from the end makes for a memorable finish. Duration 3:40.
