this is for phi1618033, that is the way it was for black drummers in the 30s and 40s, most of them could out play krupa but they were shunted to the shadows and usually never got a chance!

Thanks for the clip, I've been a Barbara Stanwyck fan since way back, although not as far back as 1941. :::wink::: She was talented and great looking.

Stanwyck had a truly great career, and people raved about working with her; a real professional. You might check out "Thornbirds" if you haven't already seen it.

The song, the band, Barbara Stanwyck, the fantastic nightclub set, the sharp b&w photography - it's the best scene in the whole move. "The rhythm won't offend you It's really gonna send you"

This was alot of fun!!!! When I was a kid my mother never let me watch Krupa movies because he was the worst junkie she new of...
Yet we listened to monk, davis, trane, etc?????
Then your mother ... ( 3 months ago by glissando2000)
Then your mother was wrong. The myth about Krupa being a junkie came about because he was one of the first celebrities to be busted for marijuana and he had a very exuberant manner when he played so people assumed he was high. Truth is that Krupa never had a drug addiction. To quote Teddy Wilson, "People have often asked me whether Krupa was an addict, and I always say no, because he wasn't." Too bad Krupa still has this falsehood hanging over him over 30 years after his death.
Did you know him? ... ( 3 months ago by padleynj)
Did you know him? Actually the first celebrity to be busted for pot was Robert Mitchum! My mother grew up and worked in Greenwich Village in the 30's and and early 40's and did know alot more that we know..I always trusted her. It's no big deal..
No, I didn't know ... ( 3 months ago by glissando2000)
No, I didn't know him but read books about him and by people who worked with him such as Teddy Wilson, Anita O'Day & Pee Wee Erwin. Maybe your mom had inside info, but several colleagues make a point of saying he wasn't a junkie. I have no reason to dispute their assertions. BTW, I said ONE of the first to be busted not the first. Some quick research shows that Krupa was busted in 1943 and Mitchum in 1948. I've found no reliable sources that state he was a junkie and many that dispute it.

It's OK, no big deal, I am just going by word-of-mouth. There are always alot of ugly rumors and facts about jazz musicians, I imagine that's why it's still not that popular..He does remind me alot of the psycho piano player in Reefer Madness!!!

LOL at the "Reefer Madness" reference. And I gotta agree with you there. He does have some pretty wild mannerisms and facial expressions. I also agree that this clip is great fun. The movie was on TCM fairly recently and it was very funny. Stanwyck is terrific in it. Cheers.
