First sentence: Krupa's evolution as a timekeeper and soloist can be broken down into four distinct periods: 1) as a sideman in Benny Goodman's band and as leader of his own First Band until 1943; 2) as leader of his more bop- influenced band until 1951; 3) as small group leader in the early fifties; 4) as small group leader from the mid-fifties until his death.
