Traps the Drum Wonder : The Life of Buddy Rich

Item 9781888408034

Now back in print, this bestseller by Mel Torme is a brilliant biography of his friend of forty years and fellow child prodigy, Buddy Rich, who was one of the most famous drummers of the Swing Era, having starred in the Artie Shaw and Tommy Dorsey bands. Rich's 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, Torme packs this biography with vivid, very funny anecdotes. His personal touch and his in-depth knowledge of jazz make for a moving, insightful and entertaining biography.
