Swing Is In The Air
Sunday January 19th, 2020 with Peter Feldman
Neill Peart's tribute to the Buddy Rich Big Band and iconic jazz musicians we lost last year.
Neill Peart was the drummer for the iconic Canadian rock band RUSH, but he was heavily influenced by the music of Buddy Rich, so much so that he produced a two-album set of the Buddy Rich Big Band with guest drumers. We'll listen to eleven of those tracks. We'll also listen to recordings by ten important jazz musicians who left us last year.
