That's a real All Star!!

[@andrewrosenblum2964]

Gotta love those background fills by Bobby Hackett! He always played the pretty notes

[@fluffshepnetwork7067]

In his hi-hat intro fill at 0:52, Krupa plays with the pattern a bit and almost flips the time in a manner very similar to Max Roach's hi-hat intro on Tiny's Tempo, recorded some years earlier. Cool to how bop vocabulary influenced post-prime big band era swing.

Wow, that was fantastic! As of this writing, Barbara Dane is still with us at 94 years old. Born: 12 May 1927

The cymbal holder coming loose, we can relate to that!! Great performance all around.

[@genekrupa7]

Gene was a master of the triplet, and syncopation!!! No one was better at "cross sticking" on the snare drum either....

[@garylancaster2031]

I saw Satchmo and Trummy Young in concert in Nashville in 1968 and I will always cherish that memory.

Jackie Gleason
Big jazz fan

[@marvinmuonekejazz]

Indeed he was! Musically he was deeply rooted in the sound of jazz and it showed in the many successful records he released with Capitol.

[@mcsteifefrise9995]

What an underrated performance! So many greats and what a solo!

[@denissutherland3653]

Wow!! And that's jazz.

[@micheldalcourt2345]

Wow what a swingning group ❤️

[@clubhaney]

Yes it was! I saw Gene perform many times from 1940 until he died in 1973. I still miss him and his unique style of drumming.

[@thecrippledrummer]

Satch actually mentions her before Gene starts, although you have to listen close😬

[@roybeckerman9253]

It’s a pity, all these other people are interfering with Gene’s drumming..🙂

[@thecrippledrummer]

Pretty much👍🏻

[@ewhackett]

[@thecrippledrummer]
