(From 12/9/2018) It would be difficult for me to pick my favorite genre of Jazz and impossible to choose a favorite artist. But Benny Goodman would certainly be in my Top-10. Likewise with a favorite drummer…Gene Krupa has got to be in the Top-5.
Here’s Benny’s band playing his classic “Sing, Sing, Sing” with Gene on drums in the 1937 movie “Hollywood Hotel”. Catch the trumpet solo by Harry James and as a little bonus, below this video you’ll find a clip about Gene Krupa that is worth watching just for the matches scene!
Reminder… You can click in the lower right of a YouTube video to make it full screen. Also, you can use the Posts menu item to filter news posts to a specific category – e.g. Music Videos – to just show those. Enjoy!
