4.0 out of 5 stars Complete GK Sextet Recordings, April 24, 2006

By 

Gertrude da Goat (New York USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Who's Rhythm? (Audio CD)

This is the complete three-album collection Gene recorded with his Sextet in 1953, and its all on one CD! The original album titles were: "Sextet #1", "Sextet #2" and "The Driving Mr. Krupa." The recordings were originally released on Norman Granz' Clef Recrds label.

Most Krupa CD anthologies focus on his big band recordings from the 30's and 40's. This is a great opportunity to get all of GK's Sextet recordings on one disc!

It's also a great period for Mr. Krupa as his playing changed from that of a big band drummer to small group drummer. His supporting cast could not be any better with such stars as: Ben Webster, Charlie Shavers, Teddy Wilson, Willie Smith, Bill Harris, Eddie 'Lockjaw' Harris, Herb Ellis and Ray Brown. This was also around the time Krupa's career was given a second life as a featured performer with Norman Granz' Jazz at the Philharmonic series, which toured the world for many years.
