The Great New Gene Krupa Quartet Featuring Charlie Ventura is the final studio album by American jazz drummer Gene Krupa featuring performances recorded in 1964 for the Verve label. [1] [2]
The Allmusic review awarded the album 3 stars stating "Drummer Gene Krupa's final recording as a leader reunited him with the bombastic tenor saxophonist Charlie Ventura... Ventura's extroverted playing (on tenor, alto and baritone) is not for everyone's taste but he is in generally good form, and even an aging Krupa still retains his youthful excitement and enthusiasm".
