Couldnt let Gene Krupas birthday pass without sharing something! This hot version of Shim-Me-Sha-Wabble is from the famous Eddie Condon New School concert in 1972, shortly before Krupa passed away. He was sick but plays like a man possessed throughout, especially on this number, which also features Kenny Daverns soaring soprano saxophone and Dick Wellstoods romping piano. Doesnt get much better! Hat tip to John Petters who discovered it on YouTube and shared it earlier today. John called it one of the most exciting jazz records ever and I wholeheartedly agree! youtu.be/nimtNX0tq9M
