A video tribute to the man who made the drums a solo instrument and is a certifiable legend of swing. This program presents Gene in fourteen complete, rarely seen performances spanning over 60 years, along with Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Charlie Ventura, Anita O'Day and an interview with the legend himself, Gene Krupa!

Special DVD Features: Includes three rare film clips of Gene: an incredible solo from 1947, a 1958 appearance on “I’ve Got A Secret” with Sal Mineo, and one of the rarest pieces of Krupa film to ever surface, a performance with the Benny Goodman Quartet circa 1967. Also includes a photo gallery of classic Krupa photos.
