Gene Krupa & His Orchestra - The Big Do Drum Boogie
Review by Daniele Quartu
The Big Do Drum Boogie by Gene Krupa & His Orchestra is a classic album that showcases the legendary drummer's talent and skill. Released in 1952, the album features Krupa and his band performing a variety of jazz and swing tunes, all with a driving, infectious rhythm that is impossible to resist.
From the opening track "Drum Boogie" to the closing number "Opus One," Krupa and his orchestra deliver a masterclass in swing music. Krupa's drumming is at the forefront of every song, driving the beat and providing a foundation for the rest of the band to build upon. His solos are dynamic and exciting, showcasing his technical prowess and musical creativity.
The album also features some standout performances from other members of the orchestra, including trumpeter Roy Eldridge and saxophonist Charlie Ventura. Their solos are energetic and virtuosic, adding to the overall excitement of the album.

Summary by Daniele Quartu
Comments
This is probably a taboo comment… can you play Jazz? Like some Drum Boogie
I'm not as old as the record but I received as a gift from a grandparent the record about 1969 and probably belonged to my dad's sister. I was playing 40's style boogie in 1971, and I had my classmates in band class cheering me; it was like heaven to me.
I never knew Gene Krupa dedicated “Drum Boogie” to my great uncle, Victor “Vic” Moore (The Wolverines drummer & Gene Krupa’s “Idol”! WOW!
I had that record, and played my drums to it, in chicago
Even Victoria Barkley got groovy to this one in BALL OF FIRE!
Killer-Diller Blokefaced Folkskis.
Great old boogi woogi My mom and swang to all of the greats thanks dad for teaching me the swing and lindy hop that's because my name is Linda
Gene Genius
What total pricks thumbs downed this,, why possibly ?
Had to look up this song to hear it which I first heard it from the movie, "Ball Of Fire" (1941) and Barbara Stanwyck was singing it while in the audience was Gary Cooper getting into the song and writing it down on a piece of paper.

You can see how early rock and roll evolved out of swing pretty easily
Peggy thinks he’s groovy but Sam doesn’t know him! (Anyone read Once An Eagle)
My parents kept their old 78s and I played them a lot as a kid in the 1960s. This one was a big fave of mine.
When you see today's drummers, so-called drummers with their match grips and their need to raise the sticks two feet above the skins to create a sound they are a joke, Rich, Krupa, Tough, Page, Webb, I could go on for ever, these are drummers, these are the ones who people who understand music and drummers know are drummers, the rest are, I will not say it 'cos I am too much of a gent...
Awesome !!!
Why would the people that make these playlists take the time and effort to put them on YouTube the either Block them (in country) or delete them? I see a few blocked tracks I'd Love to listen to.... Whats the point of it?
Hello, can anybody ell me if he had a bar with music in new york city very close to the times square ? A far as I know there was a place called Gene krupa or did he play there only and it was the advertisement for his play. It was about 1967 and they had cool go go girls there dancing.
Although a heroin addict Krupa was the drummer to many of us who still love swing...
you see the drummer stomping
The singles at the end!!!
Recorded on January 17, 1941
Best Drummer ever ! ! Ohhhh yeah, .......... einfach gut !
Me likey!
this is so inspiring
Sister Pat introduced me to this in the mid fifties.
His band was one of the hottest of the dance/ swing/ jazz era but doesn't get the historical significance it deserves.
+vlad nabokov....Gene was a drummer's drummer. Very innovative and was rock solid all the way.
