Well, after reading the passage represented above, I recognized some punctuation mistakes. Af first, there should be commas while listing. The second mistake which I see there is that film titles should be covered by quotation marks or they must be italicized.
So, this section should have had a look like this :
Buddy rich has appeared in hollywood films ''symphony of swing'' (1939), ''ship ahoy ''(1942), louis armstrong ''how’s about it''
