Collector's Checklists
BUDDY RICH 33s
by Music Librarian Christopher Popa
Buddy Rich certainly made a huge difference in the big bands of Bunny Berigan, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, and The Dorsey Brothers. Albums of theirs that mention his name on the cover are listed under those respective bandleaders.
This, meanwhile, is a list of his own albums, as well as certain all-star sessions in which he participated.
