 “I saw this show! Listen, folks. There are drummers, and there are great drummers, then...There is ARTHOR von BLOMBERG, the true embodiment of the great Gene Krupa.


My parents took me to see Krupa at the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Cincinnati when he was there with his band. I relived that experience at the Bonita Springs concert last month with the best entertaining drumming performance I have ever heard. Art Von Blomberg truly stands alone as a master of his craft.


For all of you, and especially all of you young drummers out there, do yourself a favor; If he's in your area, go watch him, and learn what real professional musicianship is all about. His show is the total package, for sure!” 

Allen Schwartzwälder, a Bonita Springs, FL Audience Member, Said the Show is “Amazing!”

  “Recently, in Bonita Springs, Florida, I was blown away by a fantastic concert by ARTHOR von BLOMBERG's unbelievable reincarnation of Gene Krupa.


Mentored by Gene in his very early years, Art has his talent, his Charm, and his zest to entertain the audience.


If you wish to relive the era of big band music today, led by a drummer. Do not miss Art and his Gene Krupa story and concert. 


It is Amazing!”

Jeff Kauffman, Hollywood Writer/Director of “The Savoy King,” Said the Show “Looks Great!!”

“ARTHOR - The show looks great, and it's nice to see you talking and drumming. Congratulations!”

“I just caught ARTHOR von BLOMBERG lead Ronnie Scott’s Big Band in a tribute evening to Gene Krupa; the ambiance, lighting, sound, and especially the band were superb. 


ARTHOR played superbly as we enjoyed two sets of original arrangements of Gene Krupa Orchestra hits. The night was scintillating, full of fun, good humor, and wonderful swinging music. Well done, ARTHOR!”

 "Arthor, The Lancaster show was outstanding. Krupa's story and his role in the history of big band swing was very entertainingly done. 


The band and the soloists were fantastic. Best of luck in taking the show where you would like. 


It was well worth the 300 mile drive for me."

“I watched the Gene Krupa Story Live Music Show, and I found it EXCELLENT! This will be incredible for Drumming — ARTHOR brings back memories of GREAT Drumming because he knows Gene’s playing and can really pull off his style. Gene Krupa needs to be remembered, and ARTHOR can do it!”

Dr. Bruce Klauber said, “The Real Thing.”

“There is virtually nothing that the Berlin-based ARTHOR Von BLOMBERG has not done in the entertainment industry. His experience includes stints as record producer, recording engineer, recording artist, author, jazz drummer, actor, and band leader. The project? ‘The Gene Krupa Story.’


At first, I was skeptical about the concept, but upon hearing further details and looking into Arthor’s extensive resume, I concluded that this was, indeed, ‘the real thing.’


Arthor Von Blomberg’s passion and knowledge of Gene Krupa and jazz music is extraordinary, and if anyone can do something like this and do it well, it is Arthor. Gene Krupa led a life filled with superb, innovative music and a good deal of singular drama. Could there be any better material than this for a show?”


—Dr. Bruce Klauber, biographer of jazz great Gene Krupa, producer/writer of the Warner Bros. “Jazz Legends” DVD series, a columnist, and a working jazz musician since childhood

“I got my first HiFi record player in 1956. The very first LP record I bought was Benny Goodman's Carnegie Hall Concert of Jan 1938, featuring Gene Krupa drumming his head off to “Sing, Sing, Sing.” Thanks, ARTHOR, for bringing that moment back to life!”

   “The great Mr. ARTHOR von BLOMBERG performing on the drums in the spirit of the legendary Mr. Gene Krupa. I’m 68 years old, and there isn’t a day in my life I don’t think about Gene Krupa and your band performing his music! 


Keep it going for the next generation of drummers. I love watching ARTHOR work behind the drums, embodying the late, great Gene Krupa!”
