4.0 out of 5 stars Krupa goes modern, August 3, 2005

This review is from: Plays Gerry Mulligan Arrangements (Audio CD)
These arrangements were written by Gerry Mulligan when he was with the Krupa band at age 19 playing tenor and alto. This album of his early arrangements was recorded 12 years later when Mulligan returned to conduct the band at age 31. Krupa had recorded Disc Jockey Jump many years earlier and it became something of a hit. It's hard to understand why he waited all those years to record the balance of the arrangements. The album is one of the early stereo efforts, saxaphones left, trumpets right, a little too much ping pong effect but cleanly recorded (why wasn't this corrected in the remix?) But this is an excellent album, for Krupa a different, more modern sound compared to the Roy Eldridge/Anita O'Day band of Yesteryear.

This record is a must. Great arrangements and nice music. Not too much drum solos. Clear and neat drums by Gene.
