Oh LOL he was in his 60's then. I was a young teen at the time. Must have been early 70's then. Yes the memory has faded over the years. Thanks for the correction. I still have the program tucked away in a photo album. I'll have to dig it out. This was at Greenwich High School in CT. For a few years they had a concert series in the student center there. I also saw Focus, Blood Sweat and Tears and last was Chick Corea with Lenny White on drums.
Krupa's finest work..... Last viewed: 5 hours ago
Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.

Ah man... Can't beat Prima's Sing Sing Sing...
I prefer the fifties version done by Prima's band, but the Goodman / Krupa thirties version is mind numbing in it's perfection. Jump ,Jive and Wail is another fav of mine... Louie Prima, yeah... Keely Smith, Prima's one time wife, had a good version also. Cool1
Wow, this is great to see and hear again. I got to see him when I was 12 or 13 years old in an old steak house downtown. Man, I was so stoked after watching him make those drums sing, I couldn't wait to get behind my old pieced together "set".
I was a little too young to truely appreciate it then, but boy, what a showman he was. He got off his drums, went over to the bass player and started playing on the strings while the bass player changed notes. That was incredible!
Anyway, thanks for posting.
Floor tom sounded great too, probably need vintage calf skins to replicate
that sound or really know what you're doing with the modern heads. Mind
numbing is right! CryBaby
