KRUPA - At His Very Best
Gene
Krupa was one of the all time great Jazz drummers. Born in 1909
in Chicago, he began playing drums as a child. In his youth he
played along side Benny Goodman and Glen Miller before finding
fame with Goodman and eventually leaving due to the inevitable
clash of personalities. Teaming up with Tommy Dorsey was an emotional
milestone which led to him forming a band of his own which he
maintained through out the Forties and which forms the bulk of
these recordings - his hey day. In the early Fifties he continued
with a smaller group - normally a quartet
