Today's edition of "Swing is in the Air" features a drummer and a band that could swing harder than anyone else: the Buddy Rich Big Band. Join me as we sample some of the band's recordings from 1966 to 1970. Highlights of the show will include the "Midnight Cowboy" medley and the famous "West Side Story" medley—one of the most exciting big band charts ever!
