Buddy Rich ha sido frecuentemente considerado "el baterista más grande del mundo". Poco importa si lo ha sido o no, lo que es singular, es que hayan sido los músicos, los críticos y el público en general, sin concertación alguna, quienes lo hayan considerado así, impactados por su extraordinaria maestría del instrumento.

Despite its title, this was actually the third album by Buddy Rich's still-new big band. The recording is taken from two different periods that, although only five months apart, find the band undergoing some major turnover; only six of the 15 sidemen are the same. With such players as altoist Ernie Watts, trumpeter Chuck Findley, and usually Jay Corre on tenor, this was a strong outfit. Most of the material (other than "Chicago" and "I Can't Get Started") was new; among the high points are "The Rotten Kid," "New Blues," and the complex "Diabolus."
