Now back in print, this bestseller by Mel Torm� is a brilliant biography of his friend of forty years,
Buddy Rich, who was one of the most famous drummers of the Swing Era, having starred in the Artie Shaw and Tommy Dorsey bands.
His career started when he was two years old in his parents' Vaudeville act, and by the time he was four he was the highest
paid child performer in the world. The Buddy Rich story is a fascinating one, as much for what it says about the world of
American music and entertainment as for the remarkable life it portrays. Drawing from interviews and many personal reminiscences,
Torm� packs this biography with vivid, often funny, anecdotes. His personal touch and his in-depth knowledge of jazz make
for a moving, insightful, and often hilarious biography. 233 pages, 6-1/2 inch. x 9-1/2 inch. Softcover
