Long regarded as one of the hardest-to-find items out there, originally on the Regent label and now superbly remastered, Krupa hornmen Ventura and Kennedy are presented here in their first sessions as leaders in 1945, each with their own groups. Ventura does a couple of Krupa Trio numbers without Krupa, and the results are wild. Bonus is the oft-requested original version of the Goodman/Krupa two-part opus of 1937, Sing Sing Sing.
