Some of the musicians come from rock & roll, often with experience in prog rock or rock/jazz fusion (i.e., the Cult/Guns N' Roses' Matt Sorum, Winger/Dixie Dregs' Rod Morgenstein, Rush's Neil Peart, Yes/King Crimson's Bill Bruford). Others made their mark primarily in the jazz world, including Max Roach, Dave Weckl, Billy Cobham, and Marvin "Smitty" Smith, among others. There are also some drummers who are primarily known for their versatile session work, able to play both rock and jazz; while these players' work is almost always competent, they rarely display much individuality. So overall, Burning for Buddy has more of a modern flavor than one might expect, and it's as uneven as most tribute albums, but the high points may make it worth picking up for some.  Volume II (1997) {71:48} 01.

Buddy Rich - Channel One Suite (11:35)Recorded at the Power Station, New York in May 1994, except #11 recorded at Electric Lady Studios on May 20, 1996.  Review by Steve HueyLike the first volume, Burning for Buddy: A Tribute to the Music of Buddy Rich, Vol. 2 assembles a shifting cast of virtuoso trap-set players sitting in with the Buddy Rich Big Band in order to pay tribute to its legendary founder. There are fewer rock drummers this time around, although Bill Bruford and Neil Peart are back. In fact, many of these guest drummers were also present on the first volume. Unfortunately, some of the players who lent a greater variety of approach and background are missing here. That isn't to say that there are no good performances on Vol. 2, because there certainly are; beat for beat, though, it isn't quite as compelling as Vol. 1.
