Benny Goodman Quintet Live

This is a performance of the Benny Goodman Quintet, featuring Benny Goodman himself, Gene Krupa, and Lionel Hampton. I think that's all that needs to be said.
First Person Shooter Reenactment
Просмотров 18 тыс.18 лет назад
Wait for the part with the deck chair. It was totally improvised. Some friends of mine were bored last summer and decided to try and recreate a first person shooter, like in the style of Goldeneye or Perfect Dark. Keep in mind that this is in no way professional, and is mostly unrehearsed and in one take, so I wouldn't go into this with too high of standards if you know what I mean.

The Benny Goodman big band playing Sing Sing Sing, featuring Gene Krupa at the end. We get the added benefit of hearing Mr. Harry James play a trumpet solo.

The stand up Bass player was having too much fun !!!
My old man was a jazz musician, I grew up with all this cool music man.
Magic.
GENE KRUPA NO1! 私の亡くなった父は、1950年代にGENE KRUPAが日本に来た時に、その演奏に魅了されました。私も、jazzライブで、この曲が演奏されるとGENE KRUPAと亡くなった父の事を思います。
Amazing
Question for drummers: Was that use of floor tom and splash cymbal was common before Gene?
No. Back in the day when Dixieland music was first popular - which is where the drum set first came in to play, the drummers job was to keep the rhythm, and to keep it “tight” - in other words, at the correct tempo. A drum set in those days was a massive 30” x 14” bass drum, a 13” or 14” snare drum, a drum of some type mounted on the bass, and a ride cymbal. Very, very basic. And not the solo instrument that we know and love today. The tom was used on fills and during the rare drum solo. Early on it was common for a drummer to have one drum mounted on the bass drum. That drum could have been a tom or an African- or Caribbean-type drum, or whatever the drummer could get his hands on. As music progressed we added a floor tom, another tom mounted on the bass, sometimes another floor tom and additional mounted toms that are on stands. Cymbals in general were used early on as emphasis to what the band was doing and most drummers only had one cymbal, which was mounted on the bass drum and therefore called a “ride cymbal”. We still call it a “ride cymbal” and we use it for our “ride rhythm”, but you almost never see it mounted on the bass drum anymore. Of note, the “rhythm” of a music chart was played on the snare drum back in the days of the early Dixieland bands. If you go to a Dixieland concert now and the drummer is playing the rhythm on the cymbals, that’s actually incorrect, not how it was originally performed, and not at all how the composer wrote the piece. The use of cymbals in general changed when Dixieland segued into early jazz music. The steady rhythm to a chart moved from the snare drum to the ride cymbal, and eventually to the high hat*. As for the splash cymbal, it became the third cymbal in common use with a drum set somewhere in the late 1920’s to the early 1930’s. Music was changing so fast back then and everyone was experimenting with all kinds of sounds. Eventually, multiple cymbals became the mainstay: A ride cymbal of 19 to 22”, high hats of 13” or 14”, a splash cymbal of 6” to 10”, and a crash cymbal or two of sizes ranging from 14” to 20”. The splash cymbal lost interest after the days of vaudeville and drummers like Spike Jones, but regained a place of honor with the jazz fusion era in the early 1970’s, and a lot of rock drummers use several splash cymbals in their set-ups today. *The original high hat stand was only about 6” tall and was introduced to give the drummer’s left foot something to do besides tap the floor. Operated by the left foot, you would commonly hear the hats with their crisp “chā” on the afterbeat. Somewhere along the line, someone in the 1930’s realized that you could actually use sticks on those floor cymbals and get an enormous variety of different rhythms and sounds out of those cymbals down there, if only you could reach them. Thus, the high hat stand was raised 30” and it became a main staple of the basic rhythm that we use still today. Just to give you an idea of what todays drummer has in his/her arsenal, here’s what my personal Pearl drum set consists of: - two 24” x 16” bass drums - six mounted toms in sizes 6” x 8”, 8” x 8”, 12” x 8”, 13” x 9”, 13” x 15”, and 14” x 16” - two floor toms at 16” x 16”, and 18” x 18” - one steel shell 14” x 5” snare drum - one maple wood 14” x 5” snare drum - one walnut wood shell 14” x 6-1/2” snare drum My Zildjian cymbals are: - one 21” ping ride - one 19” crash - one 18” crash - one 20” china swish - one 8” splash I can use all of it at one time, or break it down to a basic 4-piece set up with minimal cymbals, or anything in between, all depending on what I’m playing. I’ve had this set since 1978, it’s been packed up, driven here and there, played a lot, packed up and on to the next place for many years. I’m retired now and only play for my own satisfaction, so it sits in my music room waiting for me to go “exercise” every day! I hope this answered your questions, and gave you a snippet of the evolution of drum set history! If you would like any more information just message me here!
No drummer (percussionist) today can hold a candle to the greats like Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. Those men were artists in their own right - and professional.
I think a lot of drummers today look back at gene krupa as a legend.
See Liam you can rock and roll
Such a killer piece drums, clarinet and horns, brilliant and unmatched today.
This was the best jazz era, imo; great dance music, too.
I'm learning how to do sing sing sing
Absolutely Wonderful
These cats really swing!
Kids these days should listen to this and then try to make comparisons to so called modern music.
There are many "good" drummers. Some stand out from the others, & a very few become classics. Buddy Rich's talent is expansive and impressive. He may be the best at pure drumming. But the strokes of Krupa's sticks bring a seldom matched seamless and hamonious quality to the music. His playing is more like instrumental singing. The talent to blend innovative percussion sounds into a river of sensual uporia is tough to beat & places him at the pinnacle of percussive achievement. Hes that good. I've got many of Gene & Buddy's recordings. They're a real pleasure to listen to, but Gene's sooth my savage beast.
My father passed in 2012, mom in 2016, they're burried head to head in a crypt vault, I played this at both funerals as they put them in their crypt.
Keith Moon - John Bonham would have no hero if not for this guy.
Elvis of 🥁..Gene Krupa legend
I love Gene Krupa The Man with The Golden Arm❤️❤️🔥🔥👏👏🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🦋☮️🥰🥰⭐️⭐️⭐️
Didn't understand at the time, my fukin bad
Wow oh wow
Bruh play this at 1.25 and they its like the all railed 2 extra lines of coke before they came out. 😅😅🤣🤣🤣 My suspicion is that this is the original speed and they slowed it down so coke didn't seem such an obvious impact on the era. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man my old man, was a jazz freak. I grew up with this cool ass shit, I fukin love the swing era
Wow, now I know where the inspiration for “hey Pachuco!” came from! Also, at 1:32 someone should add a snake coming up.
Gene Krupa was da bomb ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Holy smokes his timing is dead on
This Video is as much about Benny Goodman, and his swinging clarinet, and Harry James, 1st trumpet, as it is about Gene Krupa!
Too bad the sync isn't a hair better. Not a critical flaw, the music is the important factor.
Love watching Gene Krupa drum, intense and he is in full control.
A lot of great drummers have played this over the years, but when Gene’s version comes on, you sit up and take notice and get that special feeling..🥁
I’ve come here from reading a book. I’ll Be Seeing You by Rosie Archer.
1:57 Cowbell. Then Gene takes it into outer space.
You'd have to be such a colossal douche to give this vid a thumbs down. I feel sorry for their souls. Or LACK of souls.
A John Bonham influence !
Watching Gene Krupa I'm reminded of Keith Moon. No doubt Keith must have admired Gene because he has such a similar style.
the greatest.
Loved Gene Krupa he was the best
Keith moon learned well from Krupa
Harry James!
Pinches burros ignorantes los que dan dedo abajo,.. 👎 de seguro son regetoñeros y burros
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
THE BIGEST.....
The King.
That's some stuff right there.
Benny ,owned that Clarinet.
Love it. But did anyone actually here the string bass back then? 🤔😊
wow
My 6 year old grandson was taught this version by his teacher. He loves it. What a great teacher. She also teaches them ABBA. They're learning young about what other great music there is in the world than today's auto tuned pop charts.
Bin begeistert von alten Jazz Musikern
