Synopsis

Product Description
The third release by Swing Masters pays homage to Gene Krupa. Many consider Krupa to be one of the most influential drummers of the 20th century, particularly regarding the development of the drum kit. Gene Krupa, who played with Benny Goodman and Lionel Hampton in the 1930s, among others, displayed a level of showmanship never to be equaled.

In keeping with the Swing Masters theme of authenticity, musicians that actually played with Gene Krupa are featured on this newly recorded tribute CD. Those musicians are Carmen Leggio Saxophone, Bucky Pizzarelli Guitar and Derek Smith Piano. Their contribution makes Vol. 3: Gene Krupa...Jazz Pioneer, by Swing Masters, the quintessential twenty-first century collection of music performed by Gene Krupa and a must have for jazz lovers worldwide!

Produced by Michael Anthony Taylor. Executive Producers; Michael Anthony Taylor and Rober M. Zukor.
