1	Mercy, Mercy (1968) more music like this by Buddy Rich This CD reissue brings back the finest all-round recording by Buddy Rich's big band. The original version of "Channel 1 Suite" is a classic and contains tenor saxophonist Don Menza's most memorable solo, plus a couple of brilliant improvisations from the explosive drummer/leader. Another highlight is an inventive Phil Wilson arrangement of "Mercy, ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $10.79!
2	Swingin' New Big Band (1966) more music like this by Buddy Rich 1966 was a most illogical time for anyone to try forming a new big band but Buddy Rich beat the odds. This CD reissues the first album by the Buddy Rich Orchestra, augmenting the original Lp program with nine previously unissued performances from the same sessions. The arrangements (eight by Oliver Nelson along with charts by Bill Holman, Phil ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $10.79!
3	Big Swing Face (1967) more music like this by Buddy Rich Big Swing Face not only reissues the second recording by Buddy Rich & His Big Band but doubles the program with nine previously unissued performances from the same engagement at the Chez Club in Hollywood. Rich's orchestra was in its early prime, displaying a very impressive ensemble sound, charts by Bill Holman, Shorty Rogers, Bob Florence, Bill ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $10.79!
4	Time Being (1971) more music like this by Buddy Rich This 1987 sampler CD has some of the best selections recorded by the Buddy Rich big band for the LPs A Different Drummer, Rich In London and Stick It. The selection of tunes was well done, although the complete Rich In London (not yet out on CD) is also well worth getting. Among the key soloists are Pat LaBarbera on tenor and soprano, trombonist ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $11.12!
5	Blues Caravan (1961) more music like this by Buddy Rich This crack sextet recording by Buddy Rich is one of the long lost treasures in his vast discography as a leader, featuring a band he took on a State Department-sponsored tour of the Far East and Asia not long after the recording sessions were completed for this album. The band includes flutist Sam Most, trumpeter Rolf Ericson (who achieved his ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
6	Rich Versus Roach (1959) more music like this by Buddy Rich/Max Roach Definitive battle of the drummers from 1959. CD has four bonus cuts. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.40! new only from $13.71!
7	The Best of Buddy Rich (2006) more music like this by Buddy Rich The Best of Buddy Rich (whether or not it actually is the best of Rich's long career can be debated) is actually a three-disc box containing the mid-'70s albums The Roar of '74, Very Live at Buddy's Place, and Big Band Machine. Rich, for all his flashiness and bravado, was an incredible drummer, and he took a definite risk by forming a drummer-led ... see all copies from $3.37! new only from $3.37!
8	Burning for Buddy: A Tribute to the Music of Buddy Rich (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Burning for Buddy: A Tribute to the Music of Buddy Rich, Vol. 1 assembles a shifting cast of virtuoso trap-set players sitting in with the Buddy Rich and His Big Band in order to pay tribute to its legendary founder. 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' ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $10.20!
9	Keep the Customer Satisfied (1970) more music like this by Buddy Rich The inclusion of the Paul Simon title cut (which is pretty catchy) and an 11-minute, four-song "Midnight Cowboy Medley" may make one think that this is a fairly commercial Buddy Rich big-band disc. But the arrangements are by Bill Holman, Don Piestrup and Roger Neumann; the other songs are originals by the trio, and among the soloists are altoists ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
10	The Roar of '74 (1973) more music like this by Buddy Rich In late 1973, the Buddy Rich big band still featured the explosive drummer in prime, competitive form. The orchestra's key soloist during the era was Pat LaBarbera (doubling on tenor and soprano); guitarist Joe Beck also has a spot on "Big Mac." The charts (by Ernie Wilkins, John LaBarbera, Manny Albam, Greg Hopkins and Don Menza) for this album ... see all copies from $6.74! new only from $6.74!
11 view cover	Time Out (2007) more music like this by Buddy Rich A previously unreleased live recording from various unattributed dates in 1977 and 1978, Buddy Rich leads his 15-piece big bands through exuberant music that for the most part avoids the contemporary R&B flavored jazz he was veering towards. Under the auspices of recording engineer, bandmember, and saxophonist Alan Gauvin, these 11 tracks ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $9.95!
12 view cover	Burning for Buddy: A Tribute to the Music of Buddy Rich, Vol. 2 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Like 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 ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $11.86!
13 view cover	Krupa & Rich (1955) more music like this by Various Artists Although drummers Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich are pictured together on this CD's cover, they actually only play together on one selection, a lengthy "Bernie's Tune." The first five performances (with two songs apiece for Rich and Krupa) also feature short solos from trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Roy Eldridge, tenors Flip Phillips and Illinois ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
14 view cover	The New One! (1967) more music like this by The Buddy Rich Big Band Despite its title, this was actually the third album by Buddy Rich's still-new big band. The recording is taken from two different periods that, although only five months apart, find the band undergoing some major turnover; only six of the 15 sidemen are the same. With such players as altoist Ernie Watts, trumpeter Chuck Findley, and usually Jay ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $10.79!
15 view cover	Big Band Machine [LRC Ltd] (2005) more music like this by Buddy Rich Recorded in 1975, this is the original Groove Merchant recording of a jazz-funk orchestra loaded with heavyweight soloists. Indeed, it is as fine a modern band as Rich ever dished out. The disc is not as good as the Japanese P-Vine version which has two bonus tracks and the original artwork. If this more in your budget range, get it, but be aware ... see all copies from $3.04! new only from $6.74!
16 view cover	The Jazz Collection: 100 Jazz Hits (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $14.75! new only from $47.00!
17 view cover	The Complete Johnny Mercer Songbook (1998) more music like this by Various Artists One of the giants of American popular song gets his due with this three-disc Verve box, comprising a trio of separately released compilations. Though Mercer's repertoire of classic songs doesn't quite make for three discs, Verve ably solves the problem by pairing a vocal track and an instrumental version on separate discs, such as "Too Marvelous ... see all copies from $32.61! new only from $32.61!
18 view cover	Buddy & Soul (1969) more music like this by Buddy Rich Compared to the previous Mercy, Mercy, this recording is a lesser effort by the Buddy Rich big band. However, the outing does have its notable moments, with the key soloists being the young altoist Richie Cole, tenor saxophonist Pat LaBarbera, guitarist David Dana and the drummer/leader. Recorded live at the Whiskey A-Go-Go, some of the songs are ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.85!
19 view cover	Jazz 'Round Midnight: Piano (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Another fine sampler from Verve, Jazz ‘Round Midnight: Piano offers up a after-hours mix featuring some of the music's top ivory tinklers. Starting off with Lester Young's classic reading of "Mean to Me" from 1945 (prominently featuring Nat Cole showing of his early genius at the keys), the 15 tracks include both solo and combo sides by the famous ... see all copies from $39.96!
20 view cover	Blues in the Night: The Johnny Mercer Songbook (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Contrary to Verve's blurb on the sticker of this CD, this is not the first songbook album devoted to the lyrics of Johnny Mercer; indeed, none other than Verve was responsible for an Ella Fitzgerald/Mercer songbook back in 1964. Needless to say, Ella is here, as is an all-star gallery of Verve, Mercury. MGM and Mars artists in an anthology ... see all copies from $8.95!
21 view cover	Buddy Rich & His Legendary '47-'48 Orchestra (1945) more music like this by Buddy Rich see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
22 view cover	Rich in London (2006) more music like this by Buddy Rich This is one of the best all-round sets by the Buddy Rich big band. The original Rich in London RCA LP, which contains nine selections, is augmented by four additional numbers from the same dates that were originally issued on a British RCA LP. The Rich orchestra at the time featured the great Pat La Barbera on tenor and soprano, trombonist Bruce ... see all copies from $12.47! new only from $16.85!
23 view cover	The Sounds of '66 (1966) more music like this by Sammy Davis, Jr./Buddy Rich If a pop singer is backed by a jazz band, he/she doesn't automatically turn into a jazz singer -- having jazz accompaniment doesn't necessarily make you jazz. But if a pop singer likes to swing, having jazz accompaniment is certainly a plus. Like Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis, Jr. was a jazz-influenced pop singer who knew how to ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $11.31!
24 view cover	Wham! Live (2001) more music like this by Buddy Rich The Buddy Rich Big Band. A lot's been said and written about Rich. A stormy person who was all extremes, he would laugh at your joke one moment, and tell you he'd kill you another. He was loved by some, disliked by many, and even hated by a few. But no matter what kind of person he was, there are two incontrovertible facts about Buddy Rich: He ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $11.05!
25 view cover	The Best of Buddy Rich: The Pacific Jazz Years (1966) more music like this by Buddy Rich The Best of Buddy Rich: The Pacific Jazz Years features 10 tracks culled from Rich's explosive years at Pacific Jazz. There are eight near-standards -- including "Groovin' Hard," "Love for Sale," "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" and "Greensleeves" -- as well as two previously unreleased cuts: a live version of "Apples" recorded at the Chez Club in LA and an ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $14.22!
