SUMMARY:History Talk: Master of Drums: Gene Krupa and The Music He Gave The World
DESCRIPTION:Historical Society Trustee Elizabeth Rosenthal will speak on 
 her recently published book "Master of Drums: Gene Krupa and The Music He 
 Gave The World". It is the first definitive biography of Gene Krupa\, one 
 of the most famous drummers of all time whose feverish rhythms defined the 
 Swing Era\, changed jazz music forever\, spurred rock and roll and 
 influenced generations. From jazz to the Swing Era\, to rock and roll\, 
 Elizabeth J. Rosenthal\, recounts the pioneering drummer's exploits\, 
 challenges\, and accomplishments\, while framing him against not just his 
 fellow musicians and peers but the music industry and general culture as a 
 whole.\n \nAs a special treat\, Liz will be joined by Moorestown's Steve 
 Pappaterra\, who will demonstrate some of the techniques and styles 
 pioneered by Krupa. Steve began playing drums professionally at age 17 as a 
 member of The Lamplighters\, an 18-piece big band modeled after the Glenn 
 Miller Orchestra\, performing more than 450 times over four years.  Steve 
 went on to perform with numerous big bands\, including the City Rhythm 
 Orchestra and the Upfront Big Band\, as well as on cruise engagements with 
 the Al Raymond Orchestra. \n\nThis program is part of the Historical 
 Society's "New Jersey History Speaks Lecture Series".
