I’m running a little late this morning and thought I’d fill today with a little music. It’s a great piece of film from legendary drummer Gene Krupa and his trio doing Big Noise From Winnetka. I’ve been a big fan of Krupa since first seeing him perform the very swinging Drum Boogie in the Barabara Stanwyck/Gary Cooper movie, Ball of Fire. Avery flamboyant and strong presence on the stage, he was more famously known for his work on the classic Benny Goodman track, Sing, Sing, Sing, which is the anthem of big band swing.
Anyway, give a listen and watch for some of Krupa’s famous showmanship. It’s just good stuff and a great way to kick off a tired Tuesday morning.
