Album Notes & Community Reviews

Transitioning from his reign as a primary architect of the swing era, Gene Krupa utilizes this release to fully engage with modern bebop vocabularies. The ensemble balances explosive brass arrangements with Krupa's characteristically thunderous, highly articulate drumming. 'The Exciting Gene Krupa' proves his formidable adaptability and continuing relevance in the shifting landscape of post-war jazz.
