Index
 
Klauber takes a different approach from the normal biography and uses reprints of old articles and interviews from magazines like Down Beat, Metronome and other sources to tell the Krupa Story. Also contains reviews of his working bands from 1938-1970, interviews with six of Gene's musical associates, a collective personnel listing and a selected discography and filmography along with numerous photographs.
