@animatorFan74 Why post this? It's never funny, and just degrades the rest of the comments that are occasionally actually interesting. You're a sad, pathetic waste of a person if you think posting the same joke over and over and over and over again will get you any sort of recognition as having a good sense of humour. Youtube is full of pathetic pseudo-comedians like yourself, you're not original or interesting. Your virgin-comment is bad even by youtube standards, how can you "have" a boogie?

1:46 to 1:49 lots of drums crashes dont add up. I think there is combination of dubs or editing. Listening to krupa's cymbal crashes and him playing them do not match. Nonetheless man does that guy have feel!!!

@csnowbar The African American trumpet player was ROY ELDRIDGE, by the way. One of the greats who bridged big band swing to be-bop in the 40s. You are right, those were horribly racist times but some band leaders, like Krupa, hired musicians on their merits (like Benny Goodman before him). Eldridge not only became a featured soloist w/the band but as he was also a singer he began to record some vocals, usually in duet with the Krupa band's vocalist Anita O'Day, ie- Let Me Off Uptown.

@Civitatuccillo Wouldn't that be terrific??? A different time ... a better era.

@XylophoneNoir Well said. Krupa was probably the best drummer ever!!
