Podcasts about Gene Krupa

What is it about a swing rhythm that sets hearts a flutter? It's a universal truth. It may have started as an African secret formula, but it was co-opted and catapulted into white western culture by some hip caucasian standard bearers.Here we'll examine the psycho-physical connection through two seemingly unrelated musical delicacies: one by the undisputed titan of respectable jazz, and the other by a racially mixed group of Philadelphia teens who barely made it out before the doo-wop death spiral. Bongo Stomp, from 1962, by Little Joey and the Flips, doesn't even feature real bongos (the drummer Jeff Leonard is simulating the jungle signature on his toms). But, it definitely swings. The other showcases legendary stickman, Gene Krupa, who showed the world his undeniable big swinging dick energy. BENNY GOODMAN1938 was ground zero, the big bang, the crossroads of Jazz and its soon to be birthed step-child, Rock n Roll. Benny Goodman and his band played Carnegie Hall and made history. First as a cultural event, and later, when the live recording was released in 1950 as a double album which sold over a million copies. Bei Mir Bist Du Schöen is a defiantly wonderful conglomeration of Yiddish lyrics delivered by Martha Tilton- (remember, simultaneously, Hitler was ramping up his power in Europe) - and, an irresistible swing rhythm smoothly rendered - which breaks into a kind of super charged klezmer section. It must have been startling in 1938, and it hasn't lost its power to captivate almost 100 years later. LITTLE JOEY AND THE FLIPSBy 1962, Doo-Wop was about to be consigned to the dust bin of History, along with the crooners that had dominated the previous decade. The British Invasion was about to begin, which would turn the record business on its head. But, just prior to that cataclysm, Joseph Hall and his 4 Pendleton wearing compadres arrive, dip dip dipping their striped hearts out, and they release this anomaly on Joy Records, which makes it to 33 on the charts. This was followed by only a couple more tries… then, oblivion. Maybe it was that swinging “bongo” break that lifted the Frankie Lymon-esque knock-off to its catchy heights? 

El crítico neoyorquino elogió a la banda por su combinación de vigor, alegría y destreza en el swing. "Nunca había presenciado una gran banda que tocara tan fuerte y con tanto desenfreno como la de Lunceford". Con José Manuel Corrales.

ESTÁNDARES SEMANALES.-Tin Roof Blues.-VINILOS MÍTICOS DEL JAZZ..La historia de Benny Goodman.--JAZZACTUALIDADJOVEN BIG BAND SEDAJAZZ-IN BLOOM La historia de Benny Goodman es una película biográfica musical estadounidense de 1956, protagonizada por Steve Allen y Donna Reed , escrita y dirigida por Valentine Davies y estrenada por Universal-International . La película fue concebida como una continuación del éxito de Universal de 1954, La historia de Glenn Miller , que narra la vida de un popular director de orquesta.El joven Benny Goodman recibe clases de clarinete clásico de un profesor de música de Chicago. El director de orquesta Kid Ory le aconseja tocar el género musical que más le guste. Benny comienza su carrera profesional uniéndose a la banda itinerante de Ben Pollack . Más tarde, en Nueva York, donde su nueva banda recibe una tibia acogida, Benny conoce al amante del jazz John Hammond y a su hermana Alice. Lo invitan a la majestuosa casa de los Hammond para interpretar el Concierto para clarinete de Mozart . Alice teme que se sienta incómodo, pero su interpretación es impecable y Benny agradece su preocupación. Las actuaciones de Benny en un popular programa de radio los sábados por la noche hacen que Fletcher Henderson se ofrezca como voluntario para hacer algunos arreglos. En la costa oeste, el comienzo temprano del programa ha convertido la música de Benny en una sensación entre las generaciones más jóvenes. Forma un cuarteto con Gene Krupa en la batería, Teddy Wilson al piano y Lionel Hampton al vibráfono . El romance con la chica de sociedad Alice es desconcertante para la madre de Benny, pero para cuando su hijo toca en el Carnegie Hall , todo está bien y la Sra. Goodman ha invitado personalmente a su futura nuera a sentarse a su lado.

If your mom (or your grandma or maybe great-grandmother) was a Bobby-soxer in the 1940s, she probably danced to this tune. Sociologists call the bunch born in the 1930s “The Silent Generation” — a term first used in a 1951 Time magazine story to describe their alleged cautious and passive nature — but, well, seriously? Anyone who ever saw them dance didn't think they were all that darn docile. After all, these “Silents” are the same folks who gave us the jitterbug, not to mention setting the stage for early rock ‘n' roll.About This SongAs reported here previously, Sy Oliver's composition “Opus One” was a hit on the radio for Tommy Dorsey in late 1944, but it was an even bigger smash a year later. That's when singer Anita O'Day recorded it with a rocking band fronted by drummer Gene Krupa and featuring legendary trumpeter Roy Eldridge.The song has gone on to be covered many times over the years, from versions by Harry James to those of The Mills Brothers and The Four Freshmen. For more on the song's history — including the story of those sassy lyrics added by Sid Garris — check out this earlier Flood Watch article.Meanwhile, here in The Flood Zone, the song is a perfect warmup for an evening of fun at the weekly rehearsal, offering solo space for everyone in the room.About the VideoThe sound in this video is audio from last week's rehearsal. Meanwhile, for the film footage thanks go out to Douglas K. Morris and Shane Finster of Armstrong Cable.As reported earlier, Doug and Shane dropped into a Flood rehearsal last summer to record an episode of their award-winning Armstrong Neighborhood Channel's Press Room Recordings series. It was a treat to revisit the video from that night to enhance this week's winter evening film.More Swing Tunes?Finally, if you'd like a little more from the “Swing” column on The Flood's menu, the free Radio Floodango music streaming feature has a channel just for you.Click here for a randomized playlist of swing tunes from over the band's decades.

This week I am returning to a program I produced a few years ago. It was a program to honor a listener's request. It had been awhile since I featured the singing of Anita O'Day so I put together this program of some of her early big band recordings. She achieved her first fame with the Gene Krupa orchestra and then went on to sing with Stan Kenton. Most of the recordings on the show today are those great sides she recorded with the Krupa band. I hope you enjoy this look at one of the greatest big band vocalists, the late Anita O'Day. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com

He passed away on June 1st 2000. Here's a glimpse into his remarkable journey and some of the things each day this week we'll dive into.Early Years: Tito Puente was born in New York City's Spanish Harlem to Puerto Rican parents. His father worked at a razorblade factory, and Tito initially took piano lessons. However, an ankle injury led him to switch to percussion, drawing inspiration from jazz drummer Gene Krupa. Puente's talent blossomed with his drumming lessons, and in the '40s he joined the Machito Orchestra when their drummer was drafted for World War II. This was his big break, and Puente played with them until he was also drafted into the Navy. After the war, Puente went to the Julliard School of Music on the G.I. Bill to study music and orchestration, and in 1948 he formed his own band and began developing his distinctive performance style.Career:  Tito Puente was known for his blending of Latin and jazz sounds, for placing percussion in the spotlight, and for celebrating the music with dancing and joy during his performances. His band became a regular sound at the Palladium Ballroom, where the Tito Puente Orchestra packed in the crowds and helped popularize mambo. Over the years he became known as "El Rey," the king of mambo music, and he collaborated with many other major performers, including Celia Cruz. Puente began recording with RCA Victor in the 1950s. He continued to record, collaborate, and perform for the next several decades. In the 1990s, he played himself in the movie, Mambo Kings, which helped drive a renewed awareness of his music. When he died at age 77, he was still regularly performing.Legacy: Tito Puente's influence transcends borders. His compositions continue to resonate, and his virtuosity lives on. Whether you're dancing to his beats or appreciating his melodies, Tito Puente's legacy has been recognized in many ways. He received five Grammy Awards during his lifetime, as well as a posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award; among other honors, he also received honorary degrees, presidential recognition, and the Key to New York City.Tune in tomorrow for part 2 of celebrating the life and music of Tito Puente.Support the show

Robert Cutarella spent most of his childhood evenings burrowed under his pillows, a transistor radio speaker in his ear listening to the Dick Clark Show and other famous deejays. A passion for rhythm emerged during drumming sessions with wooden spoons borrowed from his aunt. At nine years-old Robert's parents took him to see drum icon Gene Krupa at the Metropole Club in midtown Manhattan. Krupa's physicality and deep passion for his craft made a lasting impression on this soon to be music industry giant. Bob had visions of owning his own company and following a career in the music industry. Robert developed an ear for rhythm, melody, and song structure through growing up in the rhythm and blues era, he earned the opportunity to play with “Do Wop” greats the Shirelle's, Dion and the Belmont's, among others. Robert then took a side road, he fell in love eventually marrying his childhood sweetheart, became a teacher, owned an antique store, sold clothes on the weekend, and played music at night. Music was pulling him to go all in, he accepted an ultimatum from his wife to make it in the music business within a year. Ten months later, Robert recorded his first album. We learn of Robert's devastating losses, heartbreaks, and betrayals, and priceless wisdom gained. Robert recalls humble beginnings, meeting clients at his first office at St. Patrick's Cathedral, returning calls on the New York City Public Library's phone booth.   During the last 40 years, this music producing mastermind has produced over 3,000 songs, 160 plus platinum records, including two Grammy awards, for the Les Paul and Friends Tribute Album. Robert discovered and launched careers for some of the most prolific performers of all time including, legendary blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughn, and pop singing megastar Celine Dion. This behind-the-scenes hit making genius has guided current recording giants John Legend and Lady Gaga through his songwriting mentorship programs. We are anxiously awaiting Robert's new book Mentor, we hope you glean valuable insight, and enjoy meeting this music industry superstar on this episode of Intrinsic Drive™. Intrinsic Drive™ is produced by Ellen Strickler and Phil Wharton and Andrew Hollingworth  is sound editor and engineer.Created for human beings by human beings.  NO GENERATIVE AI USE ALLOWED.Robert Cutarella artist bio and timeline: Robert began his career in the music industry as a producer and performer.

Gene Krupa's 1954 Slingerland Radio King drum set was recently discovered and rescued from sitting in a wet basement for the last few decades via an online auction that caught the drum world by storm. I am joined today by the winner of this iconic set, Steve, and GK authentication expert, Brooks Tegler, to hear the full story of this legendary kit. This drum set was featured on the cover of the Drummin' Men book, the Krupa and Rich album, it was used in The Benny Goodman Story Film, and was used by Gene extensively around the world for 3 years! This drum set is as iconic as it gets and is possibly the last full Gene Krupa drum set to be found.

Some oddly constructed small groups featured by Goodman on his regular radio broadcasts in 1939. This was the time between when Gene Krupa and his replacement Dave Tough left and Charlie Christian appeared and Goodman was obviously trying different things, including using Leonard Ware and George Rose on electric guitar. Also unique was a duo between Goodman and bass player Artie Bernstein on "Tea For Two." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-clark49/support

La orquesta del flautista José Antonio Fajardo triunfaba en salones bailables y en discos Puchito y Panart con el emblema "Fajardo y sus estrellas". Rudy Calzado le ponía voz a sus éxitos. La banda sonora de la primera mitad de la década del 50 del siglo XX cubano, marcada por el auge del chachachá, nos permite acercarnos al repertorio de las orquestas más destacadas. La fiebre del nuevo ritmo recorría todos los escenarios. Una de las más reconocidas y antiguas jazz bands de la Isla: la Hermanos Castro, con su vocalista principal Carlos Díaz, no faltaba en las programaciones de la radio y televisión independientes. Emisiones en directo desde la veterana Radio Progreso que en 1953 estrenaba su soberbio estudio-teatro en la Avenida Infanta número 105. Frecuencia radiofónica ya entonces bien conocida como "La onda de la alegría". Continuamos en "la onda de la alegría", uno de los escenarios permanentes de la Orquesta Aragón durante más de cuatro décadas. Audición del mes de noviembre de 1955. Con la charanga eterna: Olga Guillot y Fernando Albuerne: "Sabrosón" es un chachachá de César Portillo de la Luz. Despide este segmento inicial en clave chá, el guitarrista, arreglista y compositor holguinero Juanito Márquez. Formidable producción discográfica Velvet del año 1960. Recordaremos a tres icónicas e influyentes figuras de la era del swing: el trompetista Harry James, el baterista Gene Krupa y el trombonista Glenn Miller, presentes de alguna manera en el estilo y sonoridad del Conjunto Casino, una de las agrupaciones más progresivas de su tipo en la Isla. El intro de "After you have gone", exitoso tema de la banda de Gene Krupa, asimilado por los músicos del "Casino". Diciembre de 1953, bailable de Nochebuena emitido por CMQ RadioCentro. Así le ponían swing a la conga-comparsa "Los Dandys" del barrio habanero de Belén. Con el Conjunto Casino del año 1950 volvíamos al estudio-teatro número 2 de CMQ-RadioCentro. Roberto Faz y Roberto Espí nos dejaron escuchar sus versiones de "Again" y "Monalisa", clásicos norteamericanos adaptados al bolero, desde sendas presentaciones en los estelares "Cumbanchoa" y el "Gran Show de la Mañana". "Serenata a la luz de la luna", original del binomio Miller-Parish, a la manera de Rolito Rodríguez. Versión al español de la compositora Tania Castellanos. Nunca es tarde si la música es buena. Los cristales de sus gafas, similares a los utilizados por el militar japonés Hideki Tojo, primer ministro de la nación nipona durante la segunda guerra mundial, le ganaron al trombonista Generoso Jiménez el sobrenombre de "Tojo", durante buena parte de su carrera. Como buen augurio, a pesar de los acostumbrados altibajos del músico popular, antes de trasladarse a La Habana, integró la formación que daría lugar a la gran Orquesta Aragón: la "Rítmica 39". Su facilidad natural para la improvisación le permitió introducirse en el ambiente artístico-musical habanero de los primeros años 40, como arreglista y ejecutante. En la orquesta del "Tropicana" compartió atriles junto a otros pioneros del jazz cubano, entre ellos: Armando Romeu. El tremendo desarrollo de la radio independiente en directo lo condujo a integrar la banda del Show "Carnaval Trinidad y hermano", estelar espacio protagonizado por el genial "Cascarita". Generoso Jiménez: su incesante trasiego por la música cubana de comienzos de los años 50 auguraba los ecos inmortales del sabroso montuno que le acompañó hasta el final de su vida, compartido con Castellanos, utilero de la banda del Beny, y que el lajero cantaría hasta la saciedad. "Generoso como toca usted" un sello distintivo entre los ejecutantes de ese difícil instrumento. Música y músicos de Cuba. Generoso Jiménez en la memoria

LET ME OFF UPTOWN by GENE KRUPA WITH ANITA O'DAY AND ROY ELDRIDGE(OKEH, 1941)This interpretation of this artifact can be as simple, or as complicated as one cares to make it. You can frame it as an anthem of solidarity, or as just another example of cultural appropriation. I choose the former. Granted, here you have an all white swing band, led by the theatrically energetic trapster Gene Krupa, featuring the pert suggestiveness of jazz songbird Anita O'Day in her debut at 22 years old - already displaying uncanny timing, and the horn section all genuflecting to the sole black member of the ensemble, the incomparable Roy Eldridge, who effortlessly blows the roof off the joint with his trumpet.The song celebrates the mythical Shangri-La of Harlem - the place where any aspiring hipster needs to visit to “get groovy”. The rhythm cuts deep, but takes its time to chug and build to an explosive finish by way of Roy's ascending wails of sound. But fundamentally, there is a winking humor to this recording (and “Soundie” video, too) that undergirds a message of brotherhood, and the shared reverence for the music. It hints that we have more in common than what divides us, and advises any non-believers to spend some time “uptown”.

Josh Feldstein founded The Verve Jazz Ensemble in 2006 as a band that paid homage to the past while vehemently establishing newer, younger audiences for the vintage sound of Hard Bop-inspired jazz.  Josh has studied extensively with drumming legend John Riley and the amazing Joe Morello, Josh's additional drumming influences include Art Blakey, Max Roach, Philly Joe Jones, Buddy Rich, and Peter Erskine. Josh has recorded 8 records with the VJE, including the band's #1 JazzWeek radio chart album, “Connect The Dots.”  His newest VJE album, “All In,” is now being played on US and global internet radio, and will be released commercially on Spotify and all streaming platforms on May 26th. Josh Feldstein was born in Manhattan and received his degree from Queens College, City University of New York.  As a child, Josh began studying drums at age 11. After a drum instructor one day told him that his drumming style “reminded him of Gene Krupa” (whom Josh had never heard of at the time), Josh immersed himself in the recordings of the legendary "Sing, Sing, Sing" soloist. "I listened to all the big bands, from Benny Goodman to Count Basie to Duke Ellington and everything in between,” Josh said.  "I knew immediately it was jazz drumming for me!” In this episode, Josh shares his background, education, and musical journey.

We continue our look at the music in the eight volume set from RCA records of the complete Victor recordings of Benny Goodman. This week we start volume five and get into volume six. Martha Tilton is still the featured vocalist but gradually there are sideman changes in the orchestra. Gene Krupa leaves in March of 1938 to start his own orchestra and then there are a few other changes. The music, however, is still top notch. One thing I noticed while going through this volume is that Benny is recording more pop hits of the day. Most of these songs are unheard of today. It is still a great volume and I hope you enjoy the music in volume number five and six. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com
