Mike Berkowitz & the Gene Krupa Orchestra June 9, 2009

Star drummer Gene Krupa and his Orchestra were the hottest of the hot stuff in the big band years. Fortunately drummer Mike Berkowitz rescued the brilliant Krupa arrangements and put together an aggregation of some of the New York Jazz world's swingingest musicians and vocalist Cassie Miller from L.A. Not just for nostalgia buffs and music historians, any real jazz lover will be thrilled by the sounds made by this 16-piece group.
