Two of Gene Krupa's great friends and favorite players in two, complete, ultra-rare sessions from 1960 and 1961. A Cozy Conception of Carmen features Cozy Cole playing great jazz and drum arrangments based on Bizet's Carmen. The Sperling session, helmed by Pete Fountain, has the great drummer working out on many Krupa favorites, including Wire Brush Stomp, Big Noise From Winnetka and many others.
