All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Personnel: Anita O'Day, Frankie Ross, Buddy Stewart (vocals).
Liner Note Author: Al Fichera.
Swing drummer Gene Krupa recorded these dates between 1945-1949 for Columbia Records. Although Krupa's most memorable playing had already been recorded at this point, mainly with Benny Goodman's band, by no means are these sessions throwaways. Along with ten instrumentals, Gerry Mulligan's "Disc Jockey Jump" is a highlight, as well as the previously unreleased and alternate takes. Several tracks feature the vocals of Buddy Stewart, Caroline Grey, Frankie Ross, and Anita O'Day. While this isn't a first-purchase Krupa disc, Boogie, Ballads and Be-Bop will please both the dedicated collector and casual listener. ~ Al Campbell

Customer Boogie, Ballads And Be-Bop: The Best Of Columbia Years Reviews 




Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Underated Swing
The Gene Krupa bands were among the most underated of the swing bands. Krupa always had bands that were clean, bright and well-rehearsed. This album features a few of those in a well rounded selection of highlights. Featured are vocalists Anita O'Day, Buddy Stewart and Dolores Grey and on one number trombonist Frank Rosolino billed as Frankie Ross singing George Wallingtons Lemon Drop. Lot's to talk about in this set. Terrific lead trumpet work by Al Porcino & Ray Triscari. Bebop soloist Buddy Wise, Charlie Kennedy, Don Fagerquist and Red Rodney. Plenty of swing from Charlie Ventura & Teddy Napoleon. But most of all the spirit of a first rate musicians band. Very well played and precise and thanks to Gene Krupa a great deal of enthusiasm too!

4 stars Tasty Percussion
Being a huge Krupa fan, this new release is a welcomed addition to my collection. While there are no wild drum solo's, Gene does demonstrate his awesome ability to back up well established musicians and vocalists in a milder setting. Krupa followers will not be disappointed.

Boogie, Ballads And Be-Bop: The Best Of Columbia Years
CD $11.39
The usual crowd which had gathered for the Blue Ridge Parkway’s weekly Bluegrass / Old-time concert series at the Humpback Rocks Pioneer Farm looked on expectantly as Nonesuch unpacked the fiddle, mandolin, 5-string banjo, and guitar. The look turned a little quizzical when two more guitars, two octave mandolins, a tenor banjo, a hammered dulcimer, Appalachian dulcimer, and bass guitar came out. Then the recorders, whistles, crumhorn, oud, djembe and dumbek appeared. "Just what kind of of music do you people play?" asked the lady in the front row. "Fourteenth through nineteenth century traditional music from England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Italy, Yugoslavia, North Carolina and West Virginia," was apparently not the answer she expected. She sat back down with just "Oh," for a response. Whatever her initial response, she was soon smiling broadly and clapping along to a French bouree underlaid with djembe rhythms.Well, sometimes there just isn’t a short answer. It’s hard to fit an odd duck into a pigeon hole. How do you briefly describe a band that grafts an English Morris dance tune onto a 14th century Italian tune, works a Native American Flute into a medieval mummers song, introduces a rare Irish song with fiddle, mandolin, and cowbell and then pumps it up on bass and djembe,, and even throws in a popular Macedonian folk tune for good measure? Nonesuch does all of the above and more, bringing six voices and over a dozen instruments into play to create richly textured interpretations of traditional songs and tunes from Europe and North America. Five of Nonesuch’s members have long played dance tunes and songs from the US, Ireland, and the UK, while the sixth spent his time behind a rock ...
