Inhaltsangabe

Describes the career, music and life of the man who made the drums a solo instrument, the man who symbolised the swing era and the man who is still internationally recognised by millions as 'the world's greatest drummer'. In this unique work, Gene Krupa tells of the beginnings of his style, of the scandalous 1943 drug bust, of the feuds and battles with the likes of Benny Goodman and Buddy Rich, his thoughts on his own works and the works of those in jazz and classical music, and much more. Commentary by Leonard Feather, George Simon and others add another dimension.

Über diesen Titel

From the Author:

Gene Krupa is more popular than ever
Since the original publication of "World of Gene Krupa," the flood gates have opened for new Krupa material on CD, video and even a new Krupa drum set being manufactured by The Slingerland Drum Company. To say the least, I am pleased if I have played even a small part in the resurgence in Gene's popularity, as well as Buddy Rich's. For those new to Gene, or only know him via video or CD, "World of Gene Krupa" is a must. Gene is still universally regarded as "the world's greatest drummer," and this book tells why. Happy reading!
