ive always have been a fan of gene krupa and buddy rich....the best 2 tracks are flying home and perdido the drum battle left a lot to be desire. first it was too short and second the sound was not that great you could hardly hear rich in the background..im afraid if you did rich would have carved the pants off of krupa..but i must admit that the solo on flying home was one of the best that i have heard from krupa.. over all it was a good c/d. it was driving and forcefull....
The audio quality of this recording is excellent for 1952! Most of the tunes are formatted around the GK Trio at that time and Gene does not try to overshadow the other musicians. highly recommended for the GK fan. The actual drum battle between Gene and Buddy was a bit of a letdown though.
