[svenmega10022]

Real music. Now all the music is noise, has no value what so ever.

[imabandgeek98]

[VmanTheMind]

Good lord that drummer is a boss.

[StephonST]

Reminds me of "Hey Pachuco"

[delora33]

That drummer is Gene Krupa and the don't get any better than him. My entire body is jumping with this. LOVE IT.

[masterbeat04]

[classical38]

boy, the drummer sure had it goin! that's what happens when you get into the swing!

[dancinman17]

GOD----I LOVE THIS!!! I performed this in Bob Fosse's Broadway show "DANCIN"" in 1978--and it rocked the house! Benny and boys could SWING in 1937 though!!!!!!!

[Zultma]

I HAVE to learn how to play this song on the drums.

[danb871]

great dad loved it

[frankthetank112244]

gene krupa is living the drums

[CutekkittyCat]

Amazing! go Benny go!

[nikkigirlita]

this song always takes me back to my grandparents' house. benny was permanent background music in their home, and as a teenager this music is more meaningful, magical and moving than any other. i will be listening to benny for the rest of my life :)

[TolpuddleMartyr]

I'm 32 and I like this. Please praise me.

[fonicuss]

in 1961 i lived in manhatten i lived on 23 rd and walked every night to see gene krupa play at the metrapole on 46 .this guy was amasing i stood no more than 6 ft away from him ,night after night .a world show men.even today .him and budy rich there has not bene drummers whit that showmen ship than those 2 great great great.fon morcus

[rvngizswt]

"I'm 12 and I listen to this" I don't think anyone really cares

[woverby1963]

Gene, Benny, Harry all jamming on that great stage in the beyond this is great stuff RIP all of them

[NoldorianElf]

Gene Krupa a handsome rocker of his time!

[2agray]

That and Bunny Berigan's "I Can't Get Started" were in that same 12 inch 78rpm album set. I loved those records.

[legionnaires]

Drummer Gene Krupa is amazing guy,I saw him in video Leave us leap,he is totally outstanding guy,stunning performance,so far I saw just 2 guys who played so good,him and Lars Ulrich from Metallica,its total different music of course,but it does not matter,rhythm is rhythm,Lars also added a myriad of tricks in his drumming,especially in early tracks,timing and precision are awesome.After I saw his solo from dvd Metallica Live in San Diego from '92.I was shocked,man he is fast as a machine gun

[SexyBill1976]

It's a shame this is in 240p, and Justin Bieber is in 1080p.

[1pensar]

@SexyBill1976 I doubt they had 1080 when this was recorded

[blokdeblok]

Ahh... We meet again 240p...

[mrkittylovesyou]

im fifteen and i think benny goodman is cool screw the haters my age who think this music is boring or sucks they dont know real music

[1pensar]

@mrkittylovesyou people think this is boring?

[if6wer966]

keith moon watched krupa..no doubt

[26warking]

54 now!!!!

[iRachiefication]

The sax player is my great grandfather :) No joke.

[saridout]

jeez that's good...

[momof410882]

I like this. I think it's the rhythm. The drummers good. I like the horns too

[SSmadneSS]

I was born in the wrong age.

[imabandgeek98]

@SSmadneSS i think i was too!

[spahjrp]

52 people have already died and don't know it.

[MYHEARTMUTMINI10]

this music reminds me Tom & Jerry : )

[mapleblackdrums]

You should watch Ken Burns Jazz documentary. It explains how BG got to L.A. and became famous.

[voice1]

Where was Louis Prima who wrote this song?

[tobifan3]

i truly belive THIS was the time period i was ment to live in. i love jazz and frankly the 1930s-1950s( ...that and the civil war area. ) mainly because of this music. i LOVE jazz ,i grew up with it and other real music.i play alto saxophone and its my life. im 15.

[tfinney7031]

It's hard to believe that Gene Krupa played drums like this back then - What an innovator! Unfortunately this is a short version, but it's great to see these guys jam.

[JimSmithInChiapas]

I grew up listening to Benny Goodman, but after watching videos like this one I have a whole new appreciation for Gene Krupa. I'd gotten the impression that he was a driven maniac on the drums, but now I see that he was enjoying the snot out of playing, and was just plain so good at what he did, that he did it all with real economy of effort and motion.

THANKS!

[beaniegrl420]

That was so good! Thank you!!

[rchl7]

Mmm, I love it.

[alpick19]

Niceee! :D

[LaiguemarinAn]

wauw, respect!

[lmdohan]

The sax player on the lower left of the screen who is yelling is Vido Musso.

I'm not sure why they added Scat Davis to the trumpet section--one of the

best in Big Band history. He is in the movie for comic relief, but that's no reason.

This was played and recorded LI VE-no dubbing allowed. You can feel the

excitement! Since this is an abbreviated performance, I wonder if several minutes

were cut for time constraints. Anyone know?

[MsSabrinaChap]

This is amazzzzzing. I'm really trying to understand what Goodman's doing here. The trombones come in first, but are they alone, or are saxes with them? Then the trumpets. . .and then the saxes? Is that the process that's going on between .02 and .38ish? Anyone know the order in which they come there and if I'm right?

[mikhailkost]

To Gene Krupa: LIKE A BOSS!

[paulostroff99]

Lovely. TY for posting.

[krislathem]

My Grandfather George F. Koenig is in the lower r. corner of this video clar.. I have a 8x10 of this video he and Krupa were roomates. I love seeing him in his prime! love you gramps

[annanoli]

@krislathem oh boy! by any means, have you the aircheck of Artie Shaw band of sept.18th1938 when George replaced shortly Les Robinson? and do you know the real reason why he left Benny? history goes that he was the only man who wasn't scared of benny..

[trumcrum]

@krislathem My dad "Chris Griffin" trumpet player, and your gramps were together on this movie. They always remained good friends.

[krislathem]

My Grandfather George F. Koenig is in the lower corner of this video. I have a 8x10 of this video he and Krupa were roomates. I love seeing him in his prime! love you gramps

[wado1942]

I wonder who's yelling at 1:02. The guitarist is the only one who seems to notice.

[dennman1]

@wado1942  It's the sax player in the lower left corner of the frame.

[annanoli]

@wado1942 Tenor saxist Vido Musso

[62636263c]

@wado1942 The fact that you noticed that the guitarist noticed is amazing in it's self. Very attentive.

[0nman]

1,665,000 plus...wow even in todays rap crap days...so many viewers...amazing...

Love benny goodwins band

[1947Rollo]

Jazz fantastico d'altri tempi.Che orchestre!Grande Goodman e un Krupa che è bello vedere,oltre che da sentire

[reske91]

70 yrs



[RJSalvage]

Who is that fourth trumpet player? Goodman only had three. My guess is it's Benny's brother Irving, who was replaced in December 1936 by Harry James.

[dennman1]

@RJSalvage The 4th trumpet player is Johnny "Scat" Davis, who was a Trumpeter / Singer / Bandleader and Actor. For more info. on him Google his name.

[annanoli]

@RJSalvage No. He's Johnny Scat Davis,actor

[7216sp]

Writen by --- Louis Prima that crazy cat.....

[littlered1925]

This is THE best song ever created, for sure.

[TBITS1]

This is great.

Too bad for the small out of sync (image about 1/4 before sound).

[boneytripod]

ya, man, blow that gas pipe!

[jimicheesecake]

As a music teacher, i feel like i could teach an entire semester on this 2 minute clip...so many things to talk about.

[pb4ueat1390]

H O T ! Harry is amazing !

[indabuildin]

as much as I love jazz Im not really a fan a big band swing...in more ways than one, its like FloRida (the rapper) music, stuff made exclusively for clubs and dancing and whatnot which really isnt my scene... im much more partial to Parker, or Coltraine, but thats just me.

Goodman does a hell of a solo though

[Jonathanezekiel1]

38 people have bieber fever

[justcoollikethat23]

38 people cant wrap their head around the awesomeness of this song..

[MrMKH2010]

38 unenlightened idiots who have no idea what real music is. They all probably listen to (c)rap.

[AZwatchdog]

@MrMKH2010

If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know. --Louis Armstrong

[MrMKH2010]

@AZwatchdog All I listen to is Jazz. Right now I am listening to WSEI, 88.7 from the campus of Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, Illinois. I also listen to Bop Jazz on AOL Radio, along with Big Band and Swing.

[CamboMcRambo]

Why did everything have to change so much?

[WashingtonDeceit]

There was only one drummer in history that Hollywood made a movie about, and it's no surprise why.

[SarcasmRules9]

AAAAhhhh.....wen music was MUSIC!!!

[Mctoro]

38 Dislikes??? Srsly.

[CharmsJr94]

wow... Only two trombones and they Dominate that line

[hahahahihihification]

the bassist and the drummer are what i call bros

[DARKLADYOFGA]

I love this, my late mom turned me on to the Big Bands, Krupa's solo is just the best.

[beverly1815]

@timboswingdancer I think you mean Glenn Miller for those songs

[timboswingdancer]

@beverly1815 i realise that, its called humour!!!!! im also well aware major miller didnt do sing sing sing....

cracking song though eh???

[beverly1815]

What happened? Why did this kind of music go away? These guys could actually read and write music.

[austinthebookworm5]

Mmmm... that's some sweet jazz

[carlos01511]

this is AMAZING!!!

[JL595]

Look at Krupa go, he was definitely one of the greatest of our time!

[adamurkow]

Makes me happy!  :D So happy!!!

[nomaniac]

THIS IS EPIC!! Love the little trumpet solo in their

big ups for uploading this

[fabptitpom]

Epic drummer is epic.

[mimirugirl]

yeahh amazing !!

[mspinkluver1231]

WOW....AMAZING SONG, AMAZING VID!!!! AHHHH IT'S CRAZY GOOD!!!

[pucksterz12]

B.G. made the clarinet a cool instrument.

[dsim200000]

@pucksterz12 and Harry James made the trumpet cool too :)

[642Blue]

Kruppa ROCKS!

[thunderbolt423]

34 people are in orchestra and are jealous of band.

[renata31000]

I love that too!!!

[louswire]

Kruppa puts so much effort into the drumming... it's almost like an athletic event... Epic workout there!

[ClowChain2]

the ones who dislike this listen to new rap

[terrryc]

Maybe it's just me, but doesn't Keith Moon of The Who look an awful lot like Gene Krupa? I wonder if Gene spent a little time in England.........

[b3nz0r]

Holy crap Krupa is beasting on those sixlets at the end.

[LostCauseLoser4Life]

Was that guy playing a clarinet?! Geez I wish I could be half as good as that

[Jagermeister196]

@LostCauseLoser4Life U kidding? Its Goodman!

[redwhiteandblues]

Coprights run out after 17 years check 1976 Copyright law. - I have actually danced to Gene Krupa and I have the record Sing Sing Sing, it is one of the most famous of all drum solos. Benny Goodman and songs like Sing Sing Sing date back into the late thirties and early forties, so you are safe with copyrights, - I am not of course an attorney if you are not sure check with one.

[otter1959]

in response to littlered1925... Because guys had class and style back then. Nobody dresses to look good anymore, everyone dresses to look ultra casual or gangsta, or goth, or skanky. I LOVE the fashions of the forties!

[inthecresents]

it just starts here,,,everyone of them top notch players.

[littlered1925]

Why don't guys wear those pants or glasses anymore? :(

[MissClareCharlotte]

Time to get out my clarinet.

[smc4312]

The epitome of jazz.

[wiseoldowlsayhoo]

I was born in the wrong generation... Enough said.

[stella15243]

stupendooooo



[PickledQuam]

does anyone know where the tower of terror version is for this? its similar, but im not sure if its this one or not..

[blueagate]

Love the comments. Yes, I'm a metal fan too but I like lots of different types of music and big band is one of them. Both Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller made an amazing contribution to the musical world with their music and I'm glad to see that there are people out there today that are willing to step outside their box and try a different type of music. I got into these two gentleman's music from their movies Bennie Goodman Story and Glenn Miller Story. Thanks for all the tunes guys!

[InnerSmile72]

gene totally looks like he's doing the nasty to those skins

[bloodandbones9]

@InnerSmile72 he's a wild man! I am a metal head and he is beating those skins with his appropriate defiance!

[enfielddnepr]

harry j's trumpet play is so recognizable..

also, am i the only one who recognises klezmer in this ray of music?

[ilive2ride105]

@Thejessi403

Some people flip their ligature to hold the reed differently. It's just preference.

[BatmanRulzz]

...who the hell disliked this?

[cal92147]

Benny Goodman cooked when a lot of bands were playing sweet dance music. like Glenn Miller Wayne King and Guy Lombardo.  He knew how to swing. This song was as radical in its day as Bib Dylan in 1963.

[britishpirate93]

Too bad the bass isn't audible... I play bass in my High School jazz band. :D

[sameman3]

tom and jerry music..:D

[JellyrollHorton]

Great stuff!

[GrMsTaR37]

Gene Krupa <3

[MrMLD72MLD]

♥ .

[evenbetternow]

@angelictroublemaker---so cool! When I was a freshman in HS in 1974, I started a swing band with a few friends called the Big Band Machine. Trust me, we were just as anti-mainstream then as you are now!. Believe it or not, the band still plays today, called the City Lights Orchestra in Chicago. Gotta love it!

[nacholu28]

Look at that drummer go!!! WOOOOO

[steven91099]

29 people are recorder players.

[busessuck1]

@steven91099 Hey I'm ace on the recorder!

[steven91099]

@busessuck1 I know, me too, but these instruments make the recorder look like a joke!

[EntropicMisanthropic]

Notice that insane glint in Gene Krupa's eye?

Dude loved to beat on his drumset and just go wild.

Best drummer ever, period. Buddy Rich was just as good but he loved the music not one half as much.

[skivorlage]

im wondering about copyright on this song i need to use it for a project but the teacher said not copyrighted matirial. do you no if the song is old enough to not be copy right anymore?

cheers

[dennman1]

@skivorlage EMI Robbins Catalog Inc. for the Publishing, and Warner Brothers Publications U.S. Inc. for the Printed Music

[Vic7997]

@dennman1 I believe COPYRIGHTS end after 75 years on US, or something like that...Wikipedia

[Cwrodman11]

@skivorlage as long as you use 30 sec or less you are good to go on any song.

[radiationnow]

@Cwrodman11 Wrong. There's no specific time limit that falls within the scope of fair use; 3 seconds can be enough to trigger liability (see Bridgeport v. Dimension Films). 30 seconds of use might be, depending on context; if you're taking 30 seconds of the iconic horn solo from this song you'd almost certainly trigger liability.

[tepples]

@radiationnow So I'd take it if you have to ask how much it costs to license something like this, you can't afford it. Am I right?

[bloodandbones9]

@skivorlage I think copyrights expire after fifty years. you might want to yahoo the law (I don't google).

[billythehelper]

@skivorlage This isn't "sing, sing, sing" unless it's just a solo break. The drum style is almost identical but the composition is something else. Anyone know?

[SavealltheWhales]

@billythehelper

Nope, this is Sing, Sing, Sing. It's just sped up, and it's kind of different parts of the song smushed into one 2 minute part. So I guess technically it is.

[Zadamanim]

dang thats a high claranet part on the solo!!

[M1GARRAND1]

@Zadamanim Artie Shaw could get a lot higher. Shaw had a better tone and technique, but Goodman had more soul and better ideas. My opinion anyway.

[Thejessi403]

Does anyone else notices that his literature is on backwards??

[femoman]

OK, the heck with Dave mackintosh and Nicko Mcbrain. gene krupa is my new drumming idol: I aspire to be able to drum like him!

[Thefuturelooksbright]

He's the best isn't he and playing the best swing song and my favorite of all time!

Thanks for posting

[lilbit1016]

wow I love big bands and swing music, it's the best

[dadsarmyfrules]

They Don't make them like that anymore

[roittt2000]

fucking awsume

[epicsolo1]

Benny Goodman is my idol.

As a clarinet player by the way.

[sierria64]

boy this cat can play

[gsco82]

One of the best clarinet solos ever. Benny Goodman was a true master of the clarinet. I just love the drumming of Gene Krupa on this piece. Really brilliant. It's quite easy to see why this music captivated young audiences in the 1930s and 40s.

[bcdk97]

Benny Goodman Plays a high A on clarinet. NOBODY CAN DO THAT! I mean, hes just great.

[R1000H]

brill !! gene krupa

[twoslices]

Basic drum set ,thats all you need!

[ben59320]

I would like to go back to 1930's only for music at this time

[Knoepfchen1993]

wow so high and so good !

[SuperPokefreak100]

look at the drummers face.....hes going insane...

[jimicheesecake]

seriously that drumbeat makes my blood boil!!!

[almostfm]

@jimicheesecake : If you can, see if you can find a clean copy of the whole 9 minute song (or the 1938 Carnegie Hall version, that runs almost 12 minutes). He's goin' at it like that the whole time.

[1230leica]

inSANE drummer <3

[10Target]

@1230leica I want to be just like 'em hahaha

[buttacki]

also don't forget it was written by Louis Prima who went on to more novelty type hits in the 50's with a variety of female singers including Keely Smith...and he was the voice of King Louis in Disney's Jungle Book when I was a kid. If you ever stumble on the live albums Prima did (Vegas and Tahoe)with his band the Witnesses (featuring Sam Butera on sax) well worth picking up.

[nashdash64]

krupa, goodman and james, talk about talent!

[greenerroee]

currently learning the trumpet solo for this, amazing song, its so nice to have the jazz community listening to all of glenn millers amazing songs

[TheNobax]

@greenerroee

Tell me, where did you find the solo. I searched everywhere...Hit me with a private message please.

Thanks

[aaronaaronjarvis]

That floor tom solo has had the most influence on the way I drum. Sure i write most my songs with the heavy John Bohnam Led Zeppelin beat with a bit of Nick Mason of Pink Floyd but whenever I solo I always start with a floor tom solo and build up to using my whole kit.

[pucksterz12]

THIS ROCKS!

[priinsess17]

Gene Krupa's drumming gives me the chills, love it! I play the clarinet as well, so Benny Goodman is such an inspiration to me!!!

[michaeljamsmith]

What can never understand is how the clarinet became not cool. Maybe after Benny, no one else could be.This is my heart. This where I live. As kid, I would come home from school sit on my drums and play Gene Krupa!

[toodance]

instant 2:12 minute party!!

[HJWins]

It looks as if Harry James is playing the King super twenty that he played in the 50s-80s here, instead of the Selmer balanced action that he should be playing. King did not even make that model in the thirties. puzzling

[EbilDuckies]

my god, the trumpet solo almost made me cum! AWESOME

[StixH]

Can you get this film on DVD?

[dennman1]

@StixH  It's available on Amazon.com.

[exccc1]

i like it but have a much longer version.......how do i delete this one?
