Pago 10 Thursday, April 19, 1C34 Daily Webrcckan o mil mmm mD-im-cmL 7B HA By Steve Abcrictca When Frank Sinatra comes to town Thursday night, he will bring one of the hottest big bands to open the show for him. J222 drummer Buddy Rich and his Big Band are the warm-up act for Sinatra Sinatra and Rich are, as they say, friends from way back, and recently have been touring on and off together. Their first" concert together was televised from the Dominican Republic August 20, 1C32. In a telephone interview, Rich, C3, described his health as "marvelous" following a mild heart attack that prevented him from performing a concert at the Peony Park Ballroom last year in Omaha. Rich has played in Omaha three times during the last ten years at both the Joslyn Art Museum and the Orpheum Theater. Rich elaborated on why he decided to tour with Sinatra this time around. "We've known each other a long time," Rich said, speaking quickly in a deep voice. "We were room mates back when we were with Tommy Dorsey's band. We're friends. We go way back so it's only natural," he said. MAKEUP LESSONS Atrium LZzrte rZz?xiz:i r 4 t fr 4r j L 1 a r imt majuu ixt mourn uunni?

I 1 d 1 04 Rich has been in show business nearly his entire life. He performed with his parents, travelling the vaudeville circuit when he was 18 months old. He was a practicing musician by his early teens and soon turned up in the bands of Bunny Berigan, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey and Benny Carter. During the 1910s, Rich jammed with "bop" inno vators such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, The lonious Honk, Al Haig and Buddy DeFranco. But Rich never abandoned "swing" and the big band sound, and has been svvir.gir.g ever since. Rich and his jazz "orchestra play in a traditional, high-energy swing style. In concert, Rich and his band give off, ifyoull excuse the expression, a rock energy and intensity when they really cook, as well as a smooth, overwhelming sensuality on their slower numbers. . , His band will open the show tonight with a reper toire that includes brand new arrangements of some popular tunes, as well as some more obscure ones. Ills trademark hit, "West Side Gtcry ," will, cf course, be included. Rich said he and Sinatra would never be on stage at the same time, but look for the drummer who claims to be the "best drummer in the world" to back ol' blue eyes" during an encore. His brazen cockiness aside, Rich's first and foremost concern is the music. "We just play good music," he says. And he means it. Television NBCs latest sitcom, Duck Factory, is an inter esting mix of animation and live comedy, a la the late, lamented My World and Welcome To It Although the series is still in the process of fully developing, its fine cast, headed by veteran character actor Jack Gilford, gives it a good chance at ultimately succeed ing. Its time slot also adds to its chances of survival Airtime is 8:30 p.m. on channel 3, wedged between two of NBCs most successful series, Cheers and Hill Street Blues. Radio Jim Anderson, the host of Nothin 'But theDlues (Thursdays, beginning at 1 1 p.m. on KZUM, 89.5 and 99.3 FM) guarantees that he plays "some of the most creative and enjoyable musical sound your ears will ever hear." This week's program focuses in on local blues bands, including Cocktail Shorty and the Tablerockers and the Backbeats.

New Movement The article on the Scarlet and Cream Singers' tour to the North Atlantic inadvertently ommitted one of the singers' names. Rob Reeder, pictured here at the right, is a sophomore from Lincoln. In addition, due to a typographical error, one of the singers' names was misspelled. It should have read Greg McCown. The date for the Scarlet and Cream's Kimball Hall concert is April 27 and 28. The Daily Nebraskan apologizes to the Singers for the errors. r i "X ' f i v " a w j v "n LJ MILLER HiGH LIFE t , hut "Mm J'L, Accepted at Pershing Box Office Open 10 am 6 pm Monday-Saturday Fddaij, flpfil 20 0:OO Easter Parade of CharriDions World Title Match Rick Ftair -vs Brad Armstrong Central States Tag Team Match Grapplers vs Ron Ritchie & Ted Dates Central States Title Match Buzz Tyler Graham Marty Janetty -vs- T.G.
