Reminds Me of duets between Papa Jo Jones and Milt Buckner. Interesting.

Not only is Butch the greatest big band drummer, he is almost another level of Buddy Rich. While Rich was a great drummer, no doubting it, one could consider his playing to be a bit repetitive at times. Butch’s playing is almost unparalleled, as not only does he have that nice and more modern sound, he was not always trying to show off and be flashy. Yes, he evidently could and would at times, but it wasn’t always constant line Buddy’s. Not to mention, Butch utilised dynamic range a lot more. And to make matters better, it seems as though he had a very good relationship with his band mates and the count himself. What an honour it would have been to watch him live. Rest easy, dear legend🦅🦅

Charts are in their heads

Cocaine is a helluva of a drug....

Krupa actually loved playing drums unlike all the drummers out there today that have no good honest reason why they took up the art form.

He's still smoked the 🥁 drums 👍

These guys are so HOT they sell the sizzle without the steak.😅

Reminds me of a lower-volume version of the jazz pieces played by "The Fisherman" and his band in the jazz-bar scene of the classic 1949 film "D.O.A."

These men swung so hard and so long the audience lost awareness of time and went with them into major musical history in 1938...........

I had a triple bypass 15 months ago, and seven weeks later, I could barely walk.

If talent was money, these guys would be multimillionaires!

Big city and all these guys…. Stone COLE, mother, fuckers!!!!

Bebop and brushwork.

So hot it will melt the sidewalk! And Hank Jones killing it as always. Really, everyone here was firing on all cylinders. Wow!

Too hot!!

My favorite jazz sounds. Beautiful. ✨️

Smokin'! :)

I wish Jazz was his problem today as it was from 1935 through 1945 sincerely JW Miller😮 I was told that back then the local PBS station has claimed that there were some 30,000 bands on the road at that time and I'm sure they did on what they could to boost the economy and libido

I wish that i could play drums like Buddy Rich

The Great Harry James and the great Buddy Rich

those drums sound like crap

Mr Morello never loose the Rhythmen, fantastic.❤

When the top three, Goodman, James and Krupa made music, it was magical. The best in the world.

Man his parents really worked that kid to death.

Billy died the next year.

Morell playing tasty fills and phrases. A +

I loved this film, and Danny Kaye was fabulous!

Krupa just was so good, hard to explain, he had a natural rhythm.

Absolutely fantastic music, love Benny and his band ❤

1:05

The drum solo is one of the best I've heard. Is "Nardis" the name of the song or the drum solo? Either way I really enjoy this it's another great video by thecrippledrummer 🔥 👍👍

Listen to that ride cymbal, wow! Sounds great! That's the bass sound. Totally HOT 🔥 CASHION DON'T GET BURNED!!!

He looks like a kid with a new toy who is learning what all it can do. This is fantastic

Es un espectáculo 💯saludos desde Honduras

The tune doesn't really showcase Buddy as others so, but listen to that ovation!

This was the best of the big bands. Their tight rhythms on upbeat songs was the greatest.(and I love all big bands of the 30’s and 40’s).

Classic Krupa crisp solid and never missing a beat. I listen and can visualize Gene playing spinning the sticks and catching them in the air keeping time and rhythm. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The most influential drummer of the 20th Century. End of story.

Weird camera angles

Don't like the close ups

hi do you by any chance have a good copy of Buddy singing I love Being Here with You from Away We go ? thanks

Nice number. With Count and Freddie.

Gene is an unforgettable performer. 👏👏

"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" , baby! (in first extended drum solo. ) Gene was great.

Questo è un altro video per cui avere un particolare riguardo perché oltre ad offrirci il sempre prezioso delizioso suono del Clarinetto di Benny Goodman ci regala altresì l' ascolto dell' esecuzione di un bravissimo pianista, che più volte ha lavorato con Goodman stesso, a cui si accompagna un suono diverso ma altrettanto piacevole, ovvero il suono dello xilofono. Bravissimi anche gli altri due musicisti. Mi e' piaciuto moltissimo e se il video fosse mio lo terrei in grandissima considerazione. Sono le nove e cinquantacinque.

This is a great interview, I feel like a time-travelller....buddy was a huuuuge influence

Great tone and technical facility by Miller, who isn't really featured much in his own band.

Man, this is music!

When you analyze what this band contributed during the WWII war years.

God made this

He was Frankie Ross then.
