Alyn Shipton is joined by British drummer Ralph Salmins to survey the prolific output of Buddy Rich, covering both Rich's discs under his own name and his appearances with other musicians. Starting his life as a child tap dancer, Buddy Rich became one of the most gifted drummers in jazz history, and this month marks the 90th anniversary of his birth.
