The Gene Krupa Quartet: Live 1966 (DOT TIME RECORDS 2018)


Recorded at the Indiana Jazz Festival, November 1966, this is a fantastic set from The Gene Krupa Quartet. Krupa leads the Quartet through a lively set with the amazing but underappreciated Saxophone Eddie Shu. Shu straddles his main early influence, Lester Young and his admiration for Coltrane. One of the highlights of this set is an energetic Drum Boogie.
