A jazz drummer of 35+ years and collector/historian. I have Spinal Muscle Atrophy & have been in a wheelchair since 1981.
I started the first website dedicated to Gene Krupa in 1997, which now has a Facebook group: America’s Ace Drummer Man: Gene Krupa. I also moderate two Buddy Rich groups on Facebook: Buddy’s Lounge & Buddy’s Place.
I also run a Facebook page dedicated to legendary guitarists Tony Mottola & Al Caiola: The Living Guitars of Tony Mottola & Al Caiola. You can find me on Facebook under the screen name “drumuitar”
This channel is primarily centered around jazz & big band with an emphasis on drummers, but also includes a mix of my other musical loves: bachelor pad, exotica, and easy listening/mood music of the 1950s-70s, as well as a smattering of instrumental surf rock and vintage Christmas music.
I wish Jazz was his problem today as it was from 1935 through 1945 sincerely JW Miller😮 I was told that back then the local PBS station has claimed that there were some 30,000 bands on the road at that time and I'm sure they did on what they could to boost the economy and libido
The drum solo is one of the best I've heard. Is "Nardis" the name of the song or the drum solo? Either way I really enjoy this it's another great video by thecrippledrummer 🔥 👍👍
Classic Krupa crisp solid and never missing a beat. I listen and can visualize Gene playing spinning the sticks and catching them in the air keeping time and rhythm. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The most influential drummer of the 20th Century. End of story.
Questo è un altro video per cui avere un particolare riguardo perché oltre ad offrirci il sempre prezioso delizioso suono del Clarinetto di Benny Goodman ci regala altresì l' ascolto dell' esecuzione di un bravissimo pianista, che più volte ha lavorato con Goodman stesso, a cui si accompagna un suono diverso ma altrettanto piacevole, ovvero il suono dello xilofono. Bravissimi anche gli altri due musicisti. Mi e' piaciuto moltissimo e se il video fosse mio lo terrei in grandissima considerazione. Sono le nove e cinquantacinque.
