[Dixielandjazz] Gene Kupa's Band

[Charles Suhor]

Re Krupa and Roy Eldridge. For me, one of the most exciting jazz 
performances of all time was Eldridge's trumpet work on Krupa's 
recording of "After You've Gone"--a breakneck tempo with Roy soaring. 
It's a cliche of jazz history that the great trumpet lineage goes from 
Louis to Roy to Diz and Miles. Way too simple, but not far from true. 
Eldridge was also featured with Shaw ad Goodman.
