Copyright © Skinner, Inc. 2011 All rights reserved MA/Lic. #2304 Provenance Gene Krupa (1909-1973) Universally acknowledged as the rst “superstar” drummer, Gene Krupa was in many ways the most signicant drummer o the hal-century o modern music spanning the style o New Orleans jazz to Swing and Bebop. He made history throughout his 50-year career with huge contributions to the drummer’s role in music and to the design o modern drums and cymbals. From an early association with Chicago musicians including Bix Beiderbecke, Jimmy McPartland, and Eddie Condon, he went on to achieve universal ame in the bands o Benny Goodman and with his own orchestra and small groups. His immortal perormance in the 1938 Benny Goodman concert at Carnegie Hall remains one o the most widely recognized and iconic classics o jazz. Ater becoming perhaps the world’s most amous Swing drummer, his music continued to progress; his Bebop collaborations with arranger Gerry Mulligan and trumpeter Roy “Little Jazz” Eldridge are considered timeless masterpieces. Krupa’s lielong collaboration with Zildjian Cymbals and Slingerland Drums contributed to the evolution o the modern drum set, and his exuberant showmanship and masterul style helped to spread the popularity o American music. Harry Fleisher (1907-c. 1995) A mechanical engineer, teacher, and inventor, Harry Fleisher began a second career making bows in 1946. He studied many historical models o French bows, and became associated with many o New York’s nest musicians and ellow bowmakers. Lots 204-216 are rom his personal collection o wood selected rom cargo arriving directly rom Brazil into the Port o Brooklyn during the 1950s and 1960s. Clint Black (b. February 4, 1962) Singer and songwriter Clint Black has enjoyed an ever-growing reputation since 1989 as a major gure in American music, garnering more than 20 million record sales worldwide.
