Synopsis

Album Description
Early jazz drummers were confined to timekeeping in the background and were rarely noticed, but during the swing era, Gene Krupa used his Hollywood-idol good looks and colorful technique to permanently change that image. Every one of his drum rolls and brush strokes seemed significant and exciting. This important collection contains 21 of the critical recordings of jazz?s first superstar drummer, gathered together on a single CD for the very first time, with remastered sound, detailed notes by Scott Yanow and rare historic photos.
