~♥~

I was at this concert. It was in 1972. Gene died in 1973. The stagehands had to carry Gene onstage and place him behind his drums. It made anyone with a heart want to cry to see that.

Hard to believe Benny thought Gene Krupa was such a ballbag. That Polish son of a bitch had a hell of a sense of rhythm.

This is really amazing!

Watch Benny throughout and look how happy he is to be around Lionel. Wakes him right up!

Wow!! I would have given my soul to be on that show...so much talent that I feel dizzy!!!

It's really amazing that Krupa played the way he did on his last performances...He is definetly one of my favourite drummers of all time

Name of the DVD is:
"Ella Fitzgerald & Other Jazz & Swing Greats"
1972 at Lincoln Jazz Center.

I have no words for what I have just seen...a true performance with nothing more than pure talent

benny goodman <3 =]

when was this performed? is it available on dvd?

Wow, this was from the same year that Gene Krupa died, he still playes 'em like no one can, and it's nice to see the original four together, the original group from back in the '30's that didn't have a bassist, but the addition of one hear is just fine, this is what jazz is suppose to sound like!

Bassist is George Duvivier...

This was at a Louis Armstrong memorial concert and the quartett was the only group actually playing live. And Gene was deadsick already and look how he plays. May those four giants of swing rest in peace!

Terrific video! I'm a huge fan of Goodman and his small group work - just a group of guys at the top of their game. Goodman never really got the credit he deserved for the great work his quartets and quintets did.

Sounds to me like "I'm a Ding Dong Daddy".

I absolutly love the accents gene plays around 00:18

I just can't stop visiting this piece and am constantly awestruck on the genius of them all... where was this recorded and is there any more of them??
