Gene KRUPA And Buddy RICH - Gene Krupa Meets Buddy Rich 1955

Gene KRUPA And Buddy RICH - Gene Krupa Meets Buddy Rich 1955
1961 Issue 817 109-1

Jazz

On this 1955 album, instead of performing a drum battle as they'd previously done on Jazz At The Philharmonic tours, the two virtuosos complement each other's playing, combining their efforts in a very musical album featuring trumpet greats Roy Eldridge and Dizzy Gillespie, tenor giants Flip Phillips and Illinois Jacquet, and a rhythm section consisting of Ray Brown and Herb Ellis. Rich shows off his facile abilities on "Buddy's Blues," and Krupa displays his fine stick work on "Gene's Blues."

Overall, KRUPA & RICH is a truly enjoyable listen, whose interest extends beyond the purely percussive. Rich's obituaries claim that this album was one of his three favorite records, and Krupa extols it as well, in Leonard Feather's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF JAZZ.
