Our Take

In a world of so-called "drumming men", Gene Krupa is truly in a league of his own. The man, the myth, the legend - Drummin Man Hits & Classic Recordings 1938-50 is a journey through the percussive genius that is Gene Krupa.

From the toe-tapping swing of "Sing, Sing, Sing" to the smooth grooves of "Drum Boogie", this album showcases Krupa's unparalleled talent behind the kit. His ability to blend technical precision with raw emotion is nothing short of mesmerising.

But what sets Drummin Man apart from other drumming compilations is the sheer variety of tracks on offer. One moment you're transported to a smoky jazz club in the 1930s, the next you're grooving along to a swinging big band number. Krupa's versatility knows no bounds.

And let's not forget the collaborations. From Benny Goodman to Anita O'Day, Krupa has worked with some of the biggest names in jazz, and it shows. The chemistry between Krupa and his fellow musicians is palpable, creating a sense of unity and energy that is impossible to resist.

So, drumming maniacs and music lovers alike, do yourself a favor and give Drummin Man Hits & Classic Recordings 1938-50 a spin. You won't be disappointed. Gene Krupa may be gone, but his legacy lives on through these timeless recordings.

About the artist

Gene Krupa

Gene Krupa, the legendary jazz drummer who could make the skins sing with a rhythm that would have even the stiffest jazz critic tapping their feet. Born in Chicago in 1909, Krupa knew from a young age that he belonged behind the drum kit, not behind a desk. Known for his incredible energy and showmanship on stage, Krupa became a household name in the swing era of the 1930s and 40s. He was a trailblazer in the world of drumming, revolutionizing the way drums were played in jazz music. His solos were electrifying, his beats infectious, and his sense of timing impeccable. Despite his fame and success, Krupa was a humble man who always put the music first. He collaborated with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Benny Goodman and Teddy Wilson, and was a key figure in the development of the big band sound. Krupa's influence can still be felt in the world of music today. His innovative playing style and charismatic stage presence set the bar high for drummers everywhere. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or a newcomer to the genre, Gene Krupa's music is guaranteed to get your toes tapping and your heart racing. So grab your dancing shoes, pour yourself a cocktail, and prepare to be taken on a musical journey by the one and only Gene Krupa. His beats may be classic, but his impact on the world of jazz is timeless.
