The level of professional talent in that entire band is astounding.

Gene Kruppa was a rock drummer before rock was invented. A beast!

fuck how good it would be to be able to witness this live today. Holy fucking Shit.

in 1961 i lived in manhatten i lived on 23 rd and walked every night to see gene krupa play at the metrapole on 46 .this guy was amasing i stood no more than 6 ft away from him ,night after night .a world show men.even today .him and budy rich there has not bene drummers whit that showmen ship than those 2 great great great.fon morcus

if I saw this live, I would lose my mind; no wonder that the older generation thought the kids were lost... they were Lost in THAT BEAT!

I used to be in a heavy metal band and have been around music all my life and this is true gold. Old swing/ big bands rule.

A song that was way ahead of its time.

That is just joy, pure joy, in sound. It nearly brings me to tears.

As a music teacher, i feel like i could teach an entire semester on this 2 minute clip...so many things to talk about.

The great Gene Krups and a very skinny Harry James on trumpet. When America had great music.

Gene Krupa in his prime...just magnificent. Saw them all in the 40's and 50's.

Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa Harry James... Doesn't get any better than this. Timeless.

Gene Krupa's sticks second to none, he raised the bar for others to reach.

The drummer is one cool " Cat" ! DJBDogg Edinburgh Scotland 😎

But you do know that in 1936, some guy by the name of Louis Prima sat down and penned this fantastic, unforgettable masterpiece, right ? Thanks to Benny, we have this iconic swing number.

I don't care what kind of a high-speed camera you have , it's impossible to stop the movements of Gene's arms. Nobody ever came along like him.

I could watch Gene Krupa all day! The greatest!

I was under the impression that the only music I needed to go back in a time machine to see was from the 60’s onwards but clearly I need to go back further

I met the great Gene Krupa several times in my lifetime. He definitely influenced my style of drumming, I am now 67 years old and still playing drum solos in a big band. I have posted my little tribute to Gene Krupa on youtube. It is listed on the Gene krupa Drum Solos page. It is called "Bob Pettinicchi Tribute to Gene Krupa" It is my tribute to a great drummer and a legend ! Thanks.

The Greatest 🎶 GENERATION OF ALL TIME.IM SO GLAD 😊 MY MOM AND DAD WERE A PART OF THAT GENERATION ❤️ 💙 💗 ♥️. I MIISS YOU SOOOOO MUCH MOM YOU TOO DAD.😢😢😢

The drumming is just relentless and perfect.

Benny Goodman's intervals are so amazing. I am so addicted to this song. Harry James is my trumpet hero!!! Benny Goodman's orchestra will never be replaced in today's society! GO BENNY! GO GENE! GO HARRY!

Loved this one, my dad met Benny Good man many years ago, and complemented him about the Song ,"Sing ,Sing,Sing" Awesome!!!

One of the best clarinet solos ever. Benny Goodman was a true master of the clarinet. I just love the drumming of Gene Krupa on this piece. Really brilliant. It's quite easy to see why this music captivated young audiences in the 1930s and 40s.

Benny Goodman, Harry James and Gene Krupa ROCKED before there was even Rock and Roll...

This reminds me of my Dad, because it was his type of music, God rest his soul.

Man, that drummer can drum.

The range and dynamics of Gene's playing is incredible. So musical. A great drummer and showman. One of the all time great entertainers.

Man they were cooking! How can you sit still? Amazing how Krupa can get so much music out of one drum!

Kruppa puts so much effort into the drumming... it's almost like an athletic event... Epic workout there!

They are so friggin' HOTTTT! Guys, this is the kind of music Hitler HATED!!! American jazz!! The best in the world!

Goodman, Krupa, James & Berrigan. This is a classic that is one-in-a-million.

Can you imagine seeing them live.. what a trip

Some of the greatest players of that age. I'm a big fan of Harry James. No one could touch him.

wow!!! i play the clarinet and people don't think much of it nowadays. i wish i could've been alive back then to see him perform. even though he's gone he's definitely an idol for me as a clarinet player

This is the best version I've heard of this song. 29 people need to listen to that trumpet solo again, I can't get enough of it.

Benny Goodman was awesome, all the band memebers are very talented.

How could anyone give this a thumbs down?

My great grandfather was in the audience of this recording

I'm going to learn to dance to this the right way and make my Grandmother who was born in Chicago in 1931 proud of me. This was her music. Man could she dance.

On July 6, 1937, "Sing, Sing, Sing" was recorded in Hollywood with.. Benny Goodman Licorice Stick (clarinet); ... Harry James, Solo Trumpet ... Ziggy Elman, and Chris Griffin on trumpets; Red Ballard and Murray McEachern on trombones; Hymie Schertzer and George Koenig on alto saxophones; Art Rollini and Vido Musso on tenor saxophone; Jess Stacy on piano;

im not that much of a Jazz fan, but this Benny dude is a boss! :D

I think one of the things that I love the most about this is seeing how much the band members are enjoying themselves. When Goodman's solo is going on, you can see the two men behind him smiling away. This is what music should be still sounding like... Thank goodness we still have SOME, but if only big bands attracted more individuals. I just wish our generation would dance the way it should be done... As an eighteen year old lady, I wish to go to big band dances even as an old woman.

It is simply amazing! Those tricks he did with the drumsticks and just the sheer talent that went into that solo. Breathtaking.

Give the drummer a prize for being able to keep that up for an (up to) eight-minute song!

There's no one better than the almighty Benny Goodman!

I AM 62 AND WHEN I GREW UP WITH ROCK AND ROLL THIS WAS MY PARENTS MUSIC AND WAS FOR SQUARES! NOW THANKS TO YOU TUBE I CAN LOOK AT IT AGAIN AND SEE HOW GREAT IT WAS! IF YOU LIKE THIS LEARN MORE ABOUT SEVENTIES DISCO! NOW THOSE WERE THE DAYS!

Back when booze was great, times were tough, and more importantly, I can’t get enough of this number!

We watched this video in band class today. Pure genius.

Just sensational... this band had everything. Benny Goodman 'bent' notes in a way that no other swing/jazz instrumentalist could even dream of, what a talent. Benny & Artie Shaw ruled in those days and they've never been equalled for pure musicianship. How fortunate we can enjoy their recordings. And they were really snappy dressers to boot!

i want a time machine..................................

I Had depression but this music really helped me ❤️‍🩹thank you soooooo much my saviour! I wish I could hug you right now 🫂

Benny Goodman is the definitely the best musician ever! Just can't get enough of his songs!

I normally don't post comments, but this music is so amazing - and as a drummer I love it even more ;-) Hope this quality will come back to mainstream one day. Until then we have to be strong ;-) Regards from good old Germany

Absolutely thrilling!!!

I saw Buddy Rich live at a college, Salisbury North Carolina, in the 80's. The walls vibrated when he was drumming. He was superior. He once said in a TV interview that he never had one lesson in drumming that he just came out drumming, born knowing how. .

They took the best elements of the much longer live Carnegie Hall version and squeezed them into two minutes of perfection. Better yet, you get to SEE these giants performing. When Gene hits the cowbell and the horns stood up, chills ran up my spine, because I knew what was coming. How did it take me so long to run across this video?

Genius musicians all.

I met Gene Krupa's daughter at a dance on Chicago's far north side - it just all came back to me - what a lovely lady she was.

Gene, Benny, Harry all jamming on that great stage in the beyond this is great stuff RIP all of them

Three musuc masters, I can see them now, thanks to this modern technology, we will always be able to see & hear the greats of swing from the greatest era ever. Thank you..

Amazing, it looks as if it was just yesterday!!!!!

Not only Kruppa's but also Benny's solo - Simply Brilliant!

No stupid advertisements on the oldies!!! Yet another good reason to listen! Keep it on the down low, like the original swing music or else they will start bombing us with ads! Swing Swing Swing!

Look at Krupa go, he was definitely one of the greatest of our time!

LEGENDARY BIG-BAND AND LEGENDARY SONG. "Sing, Sing, Sing" was recorded on July 6th, 1937 by Benny Goodman and his band.

Probably the best swing Era song I've ever heard. Gene Krupa's drums 🥁makes the song stand out.

I love this, my late mom turned me on to the Big Bands, Krupa's solo is just the best.

The greatest Band of all time, firing on all cylinders. Incredible.

I ve seen tis 10 times and will never get bored of this classic! just think...this was72 years ago! My mom was in college in 1937 and they must have really gone crazy oover this Hip music!

My grandparents had it good...growing up with this kind of music all around them, damn they were lucky.

all of the above for my uf kids ;)

The drums!!! They all killed it but those drums were about to catch fire at the end!

holy shit, gene krupa is amazing!

The man who is probably more responsible than anyone else for bringing the drum kit from the back of the stage to the front. One of my favorites. Big fan here.

GOD! I love this!

WOW !! 80 years old and still sounds great... The song, Gene .. and the band. So do his Slingerlands ..

the drumming was INSANE!!

grew up on this with parents 35 and 41 yrs older than i. thank god they loved this stuff! BG rules our house!

Krupa ROCKS.

I first heard this back in the 50s when I was 7 or 8 and it hooked me like no other song has. Krupa just has that certain something. This is may be my favorite piece of music.

Benny Goodman. Sing, sing, sing. My grandfather played this on vinyl for me back in the Jurassic Age. I picked up the clarinet in the 4th grade and some other horns later. Thanks, Benny.

I loved Harry James I am an acquintenced of his son who lives in a medium sized town in East Texas. He Never really knew his father. Man I bet these big band concerts were incredibly fun to go to. I am 61, we really never had anything like it in the 70s (and yes I survived the disco era).

Have always loved this! The drums and the horns! 😎🤗

This music was not of my "era" either. BUT.... I knew "good" when I heard it! Thanks! I think you are a very smart kid!

Wow!! such enthusiasm and brilliancy !!

Goddamn, they were so good!

After 5 years (literally) of looking, I FOUND

This is fantastic. And oh, how I wish I could play like Benny Goodman.

Gene....Harry...Benny....Ziggy....Ted..... outstanding

what an oustanding clarinet solo,an everlasting highlight of human music still after more than seventy years!!!

I love this, I wish this music would make a comeback.

This is fabulous...Benny Goodman is amazing!

I'm 32 and I like this. Please praise me.

Krupa looks so damn happy. He must have really loved his music

The trumpet solo was incredible! It's really hard to play trumpet, since you have to completely control the air you blow into the trumpet... but these guys made it incredible

Everyone is loving everyone else’s playing!

Playing drums to this in my jazz band was honestly the most fun I've ever had playing a song

I just shipped this out to our motorcycle drag racing discussion group as music video of the day so everybody could see and hear what musicianship is all about. I also commented that if one closed one's eyes and just listened, one could imagine parents of the day calling it " Devil Music". In any case, if it is , it is real GOOD devil music.

I wish I could play like him lol :/ He's AMAZING at clarinet. I wanna be like him someday!! :D
