Now on CD for the first time, three extremely rare sessions of Gene at his rocking best. First session contains seven tunes by the original Krupa Jazz Trio in Japan form April, 1952. Second session is a Krupa/Anita O'Day version of Drum Boogie taken from a Ford Star Time TV special broadcast in 1960, with a wonderful introduction by none other than Ronald Reagan. The final two songs are from the 1972 Newport jazz festival in New York, live from Radio City Music Hall, featuring Gene with Roy Eldridge, Bud Freeman, Red Norvo, Jim Hall and many others. Over 51 minutes of great stuff, and while the sound isn't state-of-the-art, the music is!
