The Drum Battle: Jazz at the Philharmonic

The Drum Battle: Jazz at the Philharmonic (1985) more music like this

by Gene Krupa

This set was initially issued as the 15th instalment in Norman Grantz's Jazz at the Philharmonic series of LPs, EPs, and 45s. 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 ...

Together Again! (1963 Reunion with Lionel Hampton, Teddy Wilson & Gene Krupa) (1963) more music like this

by Benny Goodman/Lionel Hampton/Gene Krupa/Teddy Wilson

The music on this CD has been reissued several times, including once previously on a Bluebird CD. This was the first full reunion in the studios of the Benny Goodman Quartet (featuring the clarinetist, vibraphonist Lionel Hampton, pianist Teddy Wilson, and drummer Gene Krupa), and although they would get together on an infrequent basis over the ...

Drum Crazy

Drum Crazy (2001) more music like this

by Gene Krupa

Although born in Chicago in 1909, Gene Krupa was descended from Russians and Poles -- the word "krupa" in Russian means "groats." After narrowly avoiding a career in the Catholic priesthood, young Krupa developed instead into a rowdy jazz drummer and by 1927 was making records with Ben Pollack, the Bucktown Five, and a band called the Chicagoans ...

Swing! Greatest Hits [RCA Victor] (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

Culled from the RCA Records vaults, Swing's Greatest Hits is a 15-track, budget-priced collection that contains many of the best-known songs of the big-band and swing era, including cuts by Benny Goodman ("Life Goes to a Party," "Body and Soul," "King Porter Stomp"), Artie Shaw ("Begin the Beguine"), Count Basie ("Moten Swing"), Tommy Dorsey ( ...

Plays Gerry Mulligan Arrangements

Plays Gerry Mulligan Arrangements (2005) more music like this

by Gene Krupa

Plays Gerry Mulligan Arrangements is an unusual Gene Krupa album from 1958 that was reissued in 2005. Rather than hearing Krupa play his usual swing hits, this is essentially a revisit to his underrated 1946-1949 boppish big band. Mulligan revived some of his arrangements from the period ("Disc Jockey Jump" is the most famous chart) and added a ...

Jazz in the Thirties (1933) more music like this

by Various Artists

There is a great deal of remarkable music included on this two-hour two-CD set. Among the 40 selections (all dating from the early years of swing) are sessions led by violinist Joe Venuti, bass saxophonist Adrian Rollini, Benny Goodman (in an all-star group with trombonist Jack Teagarden), Bud Freeman, trumpeter Bunny Berigan, Gene Krupa and piano ...

Drummer Man

Drummer Man (1956) more music like this

by Gene Krupa with Anita O'Day and Roy Eldridge

Roy Eldridge (trumpet) got the featured billing (along with vocalist Anita O'Day) he deserved on Drummer Man, a date featuring Gene Krupa fronting a big band. This was a reunion of sorts, but one that worked well, better in some cases than the original. The title's a bit misleading, for although Krupa's propulsions were clearly heard, his soloing ...

Golden Greats: Greatest Swing

Golden Greats: Greatest Swing (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

This is a three-CD budget collection of many great swing tunes performed by the biggest names in swing music. The sound quality is good, as are the performances, but the lack of discographical information could be frustrating to jazz aficionados. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide

Big Noise from Winnetka (1959) more music like this

by Gene Krupa

Recorded live in front of a hometown Chicago crowd, Big Noise from Winnetka: Gene Krupa at the London House eschews the gimmickry that often undermines Krupa's studio LPs in favor of a simple small-group setting that enables the drummer to stretch his considerable muscles across an appealingly wide variety of tempos and moods. Ably supported by ...

Gene Krupa & His Orchestra (1995) more music like this

by Gene Krupa & His Orchestra

These radio transcriptions from 1939 & 1943 feature Krupa in big band settings. The '39 "Show Of The Week" (12 tracks) and '43 sessions w/Roy Eldridge & Charlie Ventura (12 total cuts, nine live from the Panther Room/Hotel Sherman in Chicago) display a muddy, at times scratchy sound that digital transfer did not improve. The best sound (four ...

The 1940s: The Jazz Singers (1940) more music like this

by Various Artists

A variety of different singers (most from the swing era) are heard on this excellent collection. The music is enjoyable, if generally not all that essential, although Mildred Bailey's "I'm Nobody's Baby" (with its advanced Eddie Sauter arrangement and Roy Eldridge's futuristic trumpet solo), Billie Holiday's "All of Me," Woody Hermants "Caldonia" ...

The Women (Classic Female Jazz Artists: 1939-1952) (1931) more music like this

by Various Artists

Many of the Bluebird reissues are a bit disappointing due to their sampler nature, programming a lot of unrelated highlights together instead of coming out with the original complete sessions. This set jumps all over the place with some rare items by Mary Lou Williams, Beryl Booker, Vivien Garry, the International Sweethearts Of Rhythm and Hazel ...

Live from the Inn Club Chicago, Illinois Jan 11, 1957 (2001) more music like this

by Gene Krupa

This CD has a typical live performance from the late-'50s Gene Krupa Quartet. The veteran swing drummer liberally features Eddie Shu (heard on tenor sax, clarinet, harmonica, and trumpet) and pianist Dave McKenna (who at this early stage in his career had not yet found his voice yet), along with the supportive bassist John Drew. Krupa has a few ...

For this recording, 16 of drummer Gene Krupa's big-band recordings have been gathered together with the emphasis on rarities. Irene Day and Anita O'Day have some vocals and among the soloists are tenor saxophonists Vido Musso and Sam Donahue and trumpeter Roy Eldridge (the latter on "Watch the Birdie"). Most of the music has since been reissued on ...
