(Budget priced 4-CD box set) This 99 track set contains a fully annotated & illustrated 32 page booklet, celebrating the life and times of one of the greatest drum idols the world has ever known - Gene Krupa. Krupa burst onto the scene in the 30's with the Benny Goodman Band and formed his own big band in 1938. This highly acclaimed set picks up his story in 1936 with a couple of outings for his swing band featuring Goodman and Roy Eldridge, and then follows the big band from 1938 to 1946.
