Krupa, who with Benny Good man and Tommy Dorsey helped to educate the public to the rage of swing music back in 1934, is today one of the leading dance maestros in the country. Krupa, today, is the first to say that the era of blatant swing has gone and that bands should be fash ioned to suit dancers. Krupa says that his band, on many tunes, stresses ballad work and harmony, the ryhthm section blending into the melody as much as the reeds and brass.
