Drum Battle album for sale by Gene Krupa & Buddy Rich / Gene Krupa / Buddy Rich was released Aug 17, 1999 on the Verve label. This set was initially issued as the 15th instalment in Norman Grantz's Jazz at the Philharmonic series of LPs, EPs, and 45s. Drum Battle songs As that highly collectible compilation of performances has been out of print since the 1960s, many of the volumes were later issued under the respective artists' name. As the title would imply, Drum Battle: Jazz at the Philharmonic features the artistry of the Gene Krupa Trio with Buddy Rich (drums) sitting in on a few numbers as well as the inimitable jazz scat vocalizations of Ella Fitzgerald on a hot steppin' and definitive "Perdido." Drum Battle CD music contains a single disc with 7 songs.
