Teddy Wilson – Smoother Than Silk

If you were to take all the talented pianists whose careers stretched from the Big Band days to the the Modern Jazz era and lay them end to end, they’d reach to — whoops. What I meant to say was that if you’re looking for one among them who was the very definition of a [...]

Gene Krupa v. Buddy Rich

I posted the Animal/ (from the Muppets) Buddy Rich "drum battle" the other day; this one's a little more serious. Krupa's a lot of fun to listen to, and he "sells" his solos with a lot of body English (which Buddy never did), but nobody can match Buddy Rich. Sammy Davis Jr.'s looking on, having a whale of a good time, as he should. That's the funny thing about extended drum solos-unless...

His impressive resume includes stints with saxophonist {{Charlie Ventura = 11048}},...

In the photo he is pictured with long time musical associate, organist Johnny...

The next night an open-house dance was held with music provided by Tex Beneke and his orchestra, probably the top musical group in the nation in 1951. The Glenn Miller Orchestra had previously held the top spot. When Miller needed a sax player, Gene Krupa recommended Gordon Beneke. When Miller met Beneke, he was amazed at Beneke's Texas drawl and said "Tex, get out your horn and let's hear you...
