NotesArguably one of the finest drummers of any genre, Rich first took up drums at the astoundingly early age of 18 months, becoming known as "Traps, The Drum Wonder" and eventually being the named the second highest-paid child entertainer in the world. Rich would often claim, somewhat spuriously, that he had undertaken no formal training, did not practice outside of performances and could not read a note of music. In spite of this, he was performing as bandleader at the age of 11, and would officially begin his jazz career when he began playing as part of a group with clarinettist Joe Marsala and guitarist Jack Lemaire at New York's Hickory House in 1937. Following his jazz breakthrough, Rich made his first appearance on a major recording as part of the Vic Schoen orchestra at the age of 21. The late 1930s and early 1940s would also see Rich perform with other famed musicians such as Tommy Dorsey, Benny Carter and, perhaps most importantly of all, Frank Sinatra. Although initially leaving the group in 1942 to serve with the United States Marine Corps, he would eventually return to Dorsey's orchestra following the end of World War II. It was around this time that Rich began regularly featuring in Jazz at the Philharmonic, a series of jazz concerts that boasted a plethora of prestigious musicians during it's 40 year run. In 1946, Rich teamed up with tenor saxophonist Lester Young and pianist Nat King Cole for a series of recording sessions that would eventually be released as The Lester Young Buddy Rich Trio by Norgran Records in 1955. In the same year, he appeared on The Lionel Hampton Art Tatum Buddy Rich Trio (Clef), Buddy and Sweets (Norgran) with trumpet player Harry "Sweets" Edison, and Krupa and Rich (Clef), the latter of which would form the basis of a longstanding collaboration between Rich and fellow jazz drummer Gene Krupa. Rich's technique is often credited with being the basis for what is now the standardised form of drumming.
