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 Bruce Paulson and altoists Jimmy Mosher (showcased on "Chelsea Bridge") and Joe Romano. Excellent fairly modern big-band music. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
