@@Grandmaster-G It was and it only was the "soft"big Band and swing" that turned the kids off. Basically parents tending to not being able to tolerate the volume and higher impact songs they loved when young nerfing the sound to the point their kids could not stand it as they could not have sanded it when young. Plus of course when I was young 60's and 70's old stuff sound quality degraded we did not have the ability to restore like we do now.
@@kenashariggs1343 My mother was in born 1924 and she would have been in her teens and twenties in those years. She recently passed away in October at the age of 96.
It can get better we could add the Dorsey Brothers, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and Count Basie along with Benny, Gene, and Harry and it would be even better.
+Jimmy Sebesta - many tried to duplicate Krupa's, "sound" and it was many years later they learned he doctored his drums to achieve a certain nuance, particularly on his tom-toms which he frequently favored... He judiciously placed small groupings of pinholes in the skins for the flatness which in some cases seemed to muffle the harshness ...
wow!!! i play the clarinet and people don't think much of it nowadays. i wish i could've been alive back then to see him perform. even though he's gone he's definitely an idol for me as a clarinet player
I met the great Gene Krupa several times in my lifetime. He definitely influenced my style of drumming, I am now 67 years old and still playing drum solos in a big band. I have posted my little tribute to Gene Krupa on youtube. It is listed on the Gene krupa Drum Solos page. It is called "Bob Pettinicchi Tribute to Gene Krupa" It is my tribute to a great drummer and a legend ! Thanks.
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.
Look out the Carnegie hall version…it’s 12 minutes of brilliance, including what is probably the first true modern jazz piano solo, by Jess Stacey, who stole the show at that point.
@@trevorelliston1 The live recording by Nobuo Hara is a wonderful rendition of the Carnegie version in modern sound quality. You just have to love the japanese.
Benny Goodman's intervals are so amazing. I am so addicted to this song. Harry James is my trumpet hero!!! Benny Goodman's orchestra will never be replaced in today's society! GO BENNY! GO GENE! GO HARRY!
But you do know that in 1936, some guy by the name of Louis Prima sat down and penned this fantastic, unforgettable masterpiece, right ? Thanks to Benny, we have this iconic swing number.
I normally don't post comments, but this music is so amazing - and as a drummer I love it even more ;-) Hope this quality will come back to mainstream one day. Until then we have to be strong ;-) Regards from good old Germany
They took the best elements of the much longer live Carnegie Hall version and squeezed them into two minutes of perfection. Better yet, you get to SEE these giants performing. When Gene hits the cowbell and the horns stood up, chills ran up my spine, because I knew what was coming. How did it take me so long to run across this video?
Just sensational... this band had everything. Benny Goodman 'bent' notes in a way that no other swing/jazz instrumentalist could even dream of, what a talent. Benny & Artie Shaw ruled in those days and they've never been equalled for pure musicianship. How fortunate we can enjoy their recordings. And they were really snappy dressers to boot!
On July 6, 1937, "Sing, Sing, Sing" was recorded in Hollywood with.. Benny Goodman Licorice Stick (clarinet); ... Harry James, Solo Trumpet ... Ziggy Elman, and Chris Griffin on trumpets; Red Ballard and Murray McEachern on trombones; Hymie Schertzer and George Koenig on alto saxophones; Art Rollini and Vido Musso on tenor saxophone; Jess Stacy on piano;
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
I saw Buddy Rich live at a college, Salisbury North Carolina, in the 80's. The walls vibrated when he was drumming. He was superior. He once said in a TV interview that he never had one lesson in drumming that he just came out drumming, born knowing how. .
I ve seen tis 10 times and will never get bored of this classic! just think...this was72 years ago! My mom was in college in 1937 and they must have really gone crazy oover this Hip music!
I first heard this back in the 50s when I was 7 or 8 and it hooked me like no other song has. Krupa just has that certain something. This is may be my favorite piece of music.
Three musuc masters, I can see them now, thanks to this modern technology, we will always be able to see & hear the greats of swing from the greatest era ever. Thank you..
I think one of the things that I love the most about this is seeing how much the band members are enjoying themselves. When Goodman's solo is going on, you can see the two men behind him smiling away. This is what music should be still sounding like... Thank goodness we still have SOME, but if only big bands attracted more individuals. I just wish our generation would dance the way it should be done... As an eighteen year old lady, I wish to go to big band dances even as an old woman.
No stupid advertisements on the oldies!!! Yet another good reason to listen! Keep it on the down low, like the original swing music or else they will start bombing us with ads! Swing Swing Swing!
I AM 62 AND WHEN I GREW UP WITH ROCK AND ROLL THIS WAS MY PARENTS MUSIC AND WAS FOR SQUARES! NOW THANKS TO YOU TUBE I CAN LOOK AT IT AGAIN AND SEE HOW GREAT IT WAS! IF YOU LIKE THIS LEARN MORE ABOUT SEVENTIES DISCO! NOW THOSE WERE THE DAYS!
Well... Other than a couple Rolling Stones disco songs and the classic Lipps Inc "Funkytown", no disco elevated me. Lot's of great Jazz Fusion in that era, though (Weather Report, Miles Davis, Herbie Hanckock, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jeff Beck...)
Well one of them. You may be to young to remember a Black band leader named Chick Webb. He was the band leader and drummer. May of 1937 was THE Battle of the Bands. At the Savoy Ballroom in New York. Gene Krupa bowed down to Chick Webb and said he had been beaten in every way. The crippled kid from Baltimore won. Look it up.
I loved Harry James I am an acquintenced of his son who lives in a medium sized town in East Texas. He Never really knew his father. Man I bet these big band concerts were incredibly fun to go to. I am 61, we really never had anything like it in the 70s (and yes I survived the disco era).
Benny Goodman. Sing, sing, sing. My grandfather played this on vinyl for me back in the Jurassic Age. I picked up the clarinet in the 4th grade and some other horns later. Thanks, Benny.
I'm going to learn to dance to this the right way and make my Grandmother who was born in Chicago in 1931 proud of me. This was her music. Man could she dance.
Thank the heavens for this recording! Wish it was longer! When Benny hits that high C like I’ve never heard before......sweeeeeeet! Thanks for posting!!!
The trumpet solo was incredible! It's really hard to play trumpet, since you have to completely control the air you blow into the trumpet... but these guys made it incredible
The level of professional talent in that entire band is astounding.
Check out the Guitar guy playing triplets
fuck how good it would be to be able to witness this live today. Holy fucking Shit.
I used to be in a heavy metal band and have been around music all my life and this is true gold.
Old swing/ big bands rule.
It was the ''metal'' of it's time i guess. \m/
@@Grandmaster-G It was and it only was the "soft"big Band and swing" that turned the kids off.

I'm 65, 12 years back I purchase a set of drums only to play that kind of music and I love this more than anything!!
That is just joy, pure joy, in sound. It nearly brings me to tears.
A song that was way ahead of its time.
Still is...
if I saw this live, I would lose my mind; no wonder that the older generation thought the kids were lost... they were Lost in THAT BEAT!
As a music teacher, i feel like i could teach an entire semester on this 2 minute clip...so many things to talk about.
Gene Krupa in his prime...just magnificent. Saw them all in the 40's and 50's.
Awesome
How old are you ?
@@sonoilchamp Is this person still alive is the question. It’s been 6 yrs
@@kenashariggs1343 My mother was in born 1924 and she would have been in her teens and twenties in those years. She recently passed away in October at the age of 96.
So jealous!
Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa Harry James... Doesn't get any better than this. Timeless.
Very true -- three of the best ever.
Louis Prima*
Would give up a lot to see these guys live in concert. The good ole days/
It can get better we could add the Dorsey Brothers, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and Count Basie along with Benny, Gene, and Harry and it would be even better.
Loved this one, my dad met Benny Good man many years ago, and complemented him about the Song ,"Sing ,Sing,Sing" Awesome!!!
Gene Krupa's sticks second to none, he raised the bar for others to reach.
I don't care what kind of a high-speed camera you have , it's impossible to stop the movements of Gene's arms. Nobody ever came along like him.
You forgot buddy rich existed, didn’t you?
If you are looking for high-speed drumming, how about Keith Moon when he was on “performance enhancing” drugs
gene was great, but no one faster than Buddy. to this day.
@@rc2464 But Gene was faster to win your heart over. Buddy was a snit. Gene was a gentleman.
@@Nyx773 sorry but Keith Moon was a banger not a drummer and he was mostly drunk more than stone.
Gene Kruppa was a rock drummer before rock was invented. A beast!
I could watch Gene Krupa all day! The greatest!
The drumming is just relentless and perfect.
th-cam.com/video/8tHwX-bAYZc/w-d-xo.html Here the drums are relentlessly perfect, the same composition but with Big Sid and Benny Goodman -1942.
Can you imagine seeing them live.. what a trip
Man they were cooking! How can you sit still? Amazing how Krupa can get so much music out of one drum!
Kruppa puts so much effort into the drumming... it's almost like an athletic event... Epic workout there!
Man, that drummer can drum.
+Jimmy Sebesta - many tried to duplicate Krupa's, "sound" and it was many years later they learned he doctored his drums to achieve a certain nuance, particularly on his tom-toms which he frequently favored...

+Jimmy Sebesta Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa, it's Krupa, you expected something else?
wow!!! i play the clarinet and people don't think much of it nowadays. i wish i could've been alive back then to see him perform. even though he's gone he's definitely an idol for me as a clarinet player
He's very smooth.
The range and dynamics of Gene's playing is incredible. So musical. A great drummer and showman. One of the all time great entertainers.

How are you sir
very cool envy that
He is my favorite! period
im not that much of a Jazz fan, but this Benny dude is a boss! :D
He is a legend!
And the drummer’s not bad either
@@arthurparker7705 Not bad? Dude, it's Gene fucking Krupa. Arguably one of the best drummers in jazz along with Buddy Rich.
Goodman, Krupa, James & Berrigan. This is a classic that is one-in-a-million.
Berrigan was not in the band at that time
Do you mind reciting the Preample to the US constitution?
Benny Goodman was awesome, all the band memebers are very talented.
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.
This is the best version I've heard of this song. 29 people need to listen to that trumpet solo again, I can't get enough of it.

Some of the greatest players of that age. I'm a big fan of Harry James. No one could touch him.
But you do know that in 1936, some guy by the name of Louis Prima sat down and penned this fantastic, unforgettable masterpiece, right ? Thanks to Benny, we have this iconic swing number.

I Had depression but this music really helped me ❤️🩹thank you soooooo much my saviour!
I wish I could hug you right now 🫂
Absolutely thrilling!!!
This reminds me of my Dad, because it was his type of music, God rest his soul.

Genius musicians all.
It is simply amazing! Those tricks he did with the drumsticks and just the sheer talent that went into that solo. Breathtaking.
The drummer is one cool " Cat" !
DJBDogg Edinburgh Scotland 😎
Back when booze was great, times were tough, and more importantly, I can’t get enough of this number!
How could anyone give this a thumbs down?
Amazing, it looks as if it was just yesterday!!!!!
Just sensational... this band had everything. Benny Goodman 'bent' notes in a way that no other swing/jazz instrumentalist could even dream of, what a talent. Benny & Artie Shaw ruled in those days and they've never been equalled for pure musicianship. How fortunate we can enjoy their recordings. And they were really snappy dressers to boot!
Have always loved this! The drums and the horns! 😎🤗
We watched this video in band class today. Pure genius.
There's no one better than the almighty Benny Goodman!
On July 6, 1937, "Sing, Sing, Sing" was recorded in Hollywood with..

Chris Griffin on trumpets; Red Ballard and Murray McEachern on trombones; Hymie Schertzer and George Koenig on alto saxophones; Art Rollini and Vido Musso on tenor saxophone; Jess Stacy on piano;
Wow!! such enthusiasm and brilliancy !!
Benny Goodman, Harry James and Gene Krupa ROCKED before there was even Rock and Roll...
The great Gene Krups and a very skinny Harry James on trumpet. When America had great music.
Benny Goodman is the definitely the best musician ever! Just can't get enough of his songs!
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
The drums!!! They all killed it but those drums were about to catch fire at the end!
Gene, Benny, Harry all jamming on that great stage in the beyond this is great stuff RIP all of them
I saw Buddy Rich live at a college, Salisbury North Carolina, in the 80's. The walls vibrated when he was drumming. He was superior. He once said in a TV interview that he never had one lesson in drumming that he just came out drumming, born knowing how.
.
No way I graduated from catawba myself in the 80s!
Goddamn, they were so good!
holy shit, gene krupa is amazing!
I love this, my late mom turned me on to the Big Bands, Krupa's solo is just the best.
Not only Kruppa's but also Benny's solo - Simply Brilliant!
Love the 4/4 time when the 1/4 note gets a beat. This music is amazing even today :)
I ve seen tis 10 times and will never get bored of this classic! just think...this was72 years ago! My mom was in college in 1937 and they must have really gone crazy oover this Hip music!
Give the drummer a prize for being able to keep that up for an (up to) eight-minute song!
I first heard this back in the 50s when I was 7 or 8 and it hooked me like no other song has. Krupa just has that certain something. This is may be my favorite piece of music.
i want a time machine..................................
don't we all
Me too! I am in the wrong era!
Little warning, 1937 wasn't exactly the best point in time directly between 2 fairly big wars
Have fun in Interwar period.
@@EvieCryophoenix Well, we come back before September 1939.
Three musuc masters, I can see them now, thanks to this modern technology, we will always be able to see & hear the greats of swing from the greatest era ever. Thank you..

This is fantastic. And oh, how I wish I could play like Benny Goodman.
WOW !! 80 years old and still sounds great...
The song, Gene .. and the band.
So do his Slingerlands ..
It doesn't get any better than this!
Probably the best swing Era song I've ever heard. Gene Krupa's drums 🥁makes the song stand out.
No stupid advertisements on the oldies!!! Yet another good reason to listen! Keep it on the down low, like the original swing music or else they will start bombing us with ads! Swing Swing Swing!
Totally rockin'. One of my favorites.
My grandparents had it good...growing up with this kind of music all around them, damn they were lucky.
the drumming was INSANE!!
This is fabulous...Benny Goodman is amazing!
I love this, I wish this music would make a comeback.

Fabulous!!!!!
Krupa ROCKS.
This makes me feel like screaming & yelling.
I grew up listening to Krupa & Goodman, but never gave them any credit until now. DAMN.
I wish I could play like him lol :/
He's AMAZING at clarinet. I wanna be like him someday!! :D

It's really hard to play trumpet, since you have to completely control the air you blow into the trumpet... but these guys made it incredible

Amazing!!!
