Krupa is one of the true OGs of drumming. Man was electrifying. His drum battles with Buddy Rich are legendary.

[@snivelinj7612]

Krupa was known to lament, though, that he couldn't drum as fast as Buddy Rich. Lots of great talent emerged from that era.

[@John_Chu]

Written by and first recorded in 1936 by Louis Prima. Goodman covered it the very next year and made quite a splash with it in the famous January 16, 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert (the one which John Hammond was unable to book Robert Johnson for (he died later that year). It's different from Prima's arrangement, especially since it inserts a passage from "Christopher Columbus," a popular Fletcher Henderson tune. Gene Krupa is the drummer. He was a major figure in jazz drumming history. Of course, Goodman's clarinet swung like crazy, sending audiences into a frenzy. Oh, those kids! LOL. Thanks Harri!

He had a part in furthering the careers of Dylan, Springsteen, Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Pete Seeger, Aretha Franklin, Leonard Cohen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and his brother in law, Benny Goodman . . . among many others. He had an ear for good music, no matter the genre, and worked with anyone he thought was good.

Benny Goodman broke barriers in music and American society. He and his band played Sing, Sing, Sing at Carnegie Hall!! Introducing big band, popular music to New York society. He also had a smaller quintet which toured around the U.S. One night he brought out a new vibraphone player. Lionel Hampton was black.

[@maggynewtown3500]

Part of my comment disappeared somehow. Goodman brought the first black musician with his quintet. Lionel Hampton was a vibraphonist. First time white and black musicians played in public together.

[@parissimons6385]

You're right about Lionel Hampton joining Goodman's small groups in 1936, according to Wikipedia, along with the magnificent pianist Teddy Wilson, who had joined Goodman's groups in 1935. Both were black and both were part of Goodman's small groups that toured and played public concerts as well as making recordings from then on into the future. And sadly, this 'integration' was a big deal at the time. But it was a fine example of great music artists working together. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHPWapqQhr1qorM

[@mmattson8947]

You might like watching "The Benny Goodman Story" (1956) movie. Although they had Steve Allen as the lead, Goodman and his orchestra did the music for the movie. And they had Lionel Hampton and Gene Krupa portraying themselves. You'll hear a lot of their big songs throughout the movie. The writers played around with the timeline and created some artificial drama in the relationships, but most of the outlandish stuff that we see happen to the band is close to reality.

[@kirpalite]

Benny Goodman made over 5000 commercial recordings. he was known as the King of Swing. He gave Peggy Lee her first big break. Try Goodman and Lee doing WHY DON'T YOU DO RIGHT. It is an old video from around 1943, and it is great.

[@RadCenter]

Goodman's band was truly composed of all-stars. They were the first Big Band jazz ensemble ever to play at Carnegie Hall, in 1938. This song-full title: "Sing, Sing, Sing (with a Swing)"-closed out that performance. The audience went wild during the whole show. The whole concert was recorded, and is well worth a listen! PS My mom got to see the Benny Goodman Orchestra in the 1940s at a dance hall in Allentown, Pennsylvania. His band-and this song-were always her favorites. I suggest it to every reactor I follow!

[@marybaillie8907]

Hold on to your hats, We're gonna swing. 💃💃 Composed in 1936, by Louis Prima, Benny delivered this in 1940, into such a joyous tune, with such a tight delivery. With the catchy riffs, the crisp sharp tumpetry, the maniac drumming, just a full out jam section. Joined by Gene Krupa and Lionel Hampton, Benny demanded perfection or you were out, he had the best musicians. This song was lengthened from the original one night when after the 3rd chorus, Gene refused to stop drumming, so Benny picked up the clarinet and noodles along with him, Perfection, which was added to the original, luckily. Yes, Harri, this is the great music that helped form my love of music. Thank you, Harri. Just a stellar night of the best musicians. ❤❤ Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Benny Goodman was a famously tough perfectionist. He hired only the best and drove them relentlessly. You can hear it.

Yes, the 40s were great for music. However, there was a small war going on in the early part. Lost a great Band Leader during the war. Glenn Miller, was a Major in the US Army Air Force.

The opening movement is so beautiful, Ken Burns used it in his documentaries. I would use it to woo women. Can't wait to see and hear this reaction!

[@StinkinGoodAle3241]

Bela Bartok wrote a masterpiece for Goodman, too. A piece for clarinet, violin, and piano called Contrasts

[@rockymountainjazzfan1822]

When Goodman originally recorded this, he had an all-star band, several members of whom went on to lead their own bands. Originally, "Sing, Sing, Sing" was what would be called today a "mashup" of two tunes, "Sing, Sing, Sing" and "Christopher Columbus." At some point, it became known as "Sing, Sing, Sing--Part One and Part Two." This was done because, at the time, the 78 RPM record was limited to about 3 minutes per side, and the full "Sing, Sing, Sing" tune ran longer than that--so it was split to fit on two sides of a 78 RPM record. Goodman recorded the tune numerous times between the 1930's and 1970's, with many of the later recordings containing a long Goodman clarinet solo beginning in the "Part 2" portion of the tune. Yes, the Swing Era contains so many great tunes and performances that you could practically spend years trying to listen to them all.

I love all great stuff - Eminem, Michael Jackson, Bach, Prince, Carly Simon, Orff, Mark Knopfler, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Vivaldi, the Stones. Gold is where you find it.

Swing is a style of jazz. Big band is, essentially, the format. And Benny’s band swung out high and gutbucket.

I saw them a few times as a small child around the Pasadena/Hollywood area. I was exposed to the big bands as a little one. I even once saw Count Basie at the Carnation Plaza at Disneyland. In the Mood was a staple at all family weddings and I would swing dance with our dear uncle who had taught me how. It was just a given.....and I miss him so much. What an era.

[@d.j.starling3559]

My dad was a big band/jazz trumpeter/arranger so I grew up with this great music!! In fact, he even had Big Band nights at our house -- a 16 piece band in our finished basement, with some very well-known names, gathered for an evening of camaraderie & playing my dad's arrangements. How I loved those nights, & some of those great men!! My dad's proudest professional moment came after the death of his idol, Harry James -- trumpeter with Benny Goodman's band before starting his own band, & hiring a young (23), unknown singer for that band named Frank Sinatra. Their first recording, 1939, is the beautiful All Or Nothing At All. You'll LOVE it!!! Harry still had a band when he passed in 1983, & my dad was beyond thrilled & delighted & oh, so proud, when he was notified he was under consideration to take over leadership of the band. To this day, I do believe that in his heart, that was his most shining hour!!! Harri -- you should listen to Harry's song, James Session. One of my most favorite big band songs of all!!!

[@rockymountainjazzfan1822]

My Dad was also a jazz musician (sax and clarinet) in his young years. The singer in the band where he worked at the height of the Swing Era was Norma Egstrom, who, not long after, joined Goodman's band as . . . Peggy Lee. Harry James was one of my parents' favorite bandleaders. When I was kid, I met Harry James at a concert--he was a very cordial fellow. I liked many of the tunes that he featured, but my favorite two were "Melancholy Rhapsody" (from the movie "The Man With a Horn"), and "The Mole."
