Customer Reviews of Boogie Ballads & Be-Bop: Best of Columbia 1945-1949
Great modernistic late 40's bebop swing Great vocals, great arrangements, great drummin, man it's CARZY and cool stuff.
Chiquita Banana
As far as I know, this is the first CD appearance of Krupa's version of the Chiquita Banana Song. And while the reviewer above may think it banal, that theme became a popular "quote" for beboppers - especially Wardell Gray who worked it into many of his solos.
Anyway back to this CD - yes most of the other tunes are available elsewhere, but its still nice to have all this modern bop influenced Krupa on one CD.
Nothing Much New & Idiotic Cover Art
Unfortunately Columbia is just regurgitating the same material into new releases. Nothing much new here that isn't already available. On another note, the person who came up with this cover art knows nothing about Gene apparently. Gene played Slingerland drums virtually his entire career. The cd shows him sitting behind a modern Yamaha set with an 18" bass drum! Gene never played anything smaller than a 22."
