16 ORIGINAL RECORDINGS

GENE KRUPA'S HARD BEAT AND PERFECT TECHNIQUE REMAIN TO THIS DAY UNFORGETTABLE AND MADE HIM A LEADING FIGURE OF THE SWING MOVEMENT. HIS ABILITY TO FEATURE HIMSELF IN A PERFECT LIGHT UNDOUBTEDLY HELPED HIS CONQUEST OF THE JAZZ WORLD, AND HIS ARTISTIC TALENT PLAYED NO SMALL PART IN THIS UNDERTAKING. THIS TALENT HAS BEEN IMMORTALISED ON NUMEROUS RECORDINGS, SUCH AS "JEEPERS CREEPRS", HIS "WIRE BRUSH STOMP" BUT ALSO STANDARDS SUCH AS "GEORGIA ON MY MIND". GENE'S ONLY LIFE-LONG CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WAS WITH BENNY GOODMAN. THE TWO MUSICIANS CROSSED PATHS TIME AND TIME AGAIN, THE LAST TIME BEING AT THE NEWPORT FESTIVAL IN 1973. GENE DIED FROM LEUKAMIA ON 16TH OCTOBER, 1973. THE 16 TRACKS FEATURED ON THIS ALBUM WERE ALL RECORDED BETWEEN 1938 AND 1942. CLASSIC *****
