Gene Krupa - "The Best of the Big Bands: Gene Krupa"
Originally part of the Basie Band, Gene Krupa later started his own big band. Familiar to most people for his drum work on the hit "Sing, Sing, Sing" while playing with Goodman, Krupa also had hit with his own band, notably "Rhumboogie" and "Boog it". I bought this album a few years ago and I don't listen to it all that often. That's mostly because I ripped the songs off of it and distributed them throughout various swing play lists on my computer and mp3 player. So, I do listen to most of the tracks pretty regularly, just not the complete album. Boog it at Amazon.
