This is the first CD from the French Classics reissue series showcasing drummer
Buddy Rich as a big-band leader. These 22 titles were recorded between 1946 and
1948 with several of them being V-discs. The tight arrangements of Tadd Dameron,
Neil Hefti, Eddie Finckel, Bill Channon, and Turk Van Lake are strict yet
thoroughly swinging ensemble playing. Even though Rich led this big band, he
does not take center stage over the entire outcome. His Frank Sinatra-influenced
vocals are heard here along with those of Dorothy Reid and Linda Larkin. During
this three-year period his bands included the likes of Johnny Mandel, Red
Rodney, Hal McKusick, Jimmy Giuffre, Warne Marsh, and Allen Eager. With the
proven talent heard here its a shame Rich couldnt sustain his ensembles, but
finding gigs as the big-band era was drawing to a close made it economically
unfeasible. Rich would not attempt to lead another big band until 1966.~Al
