"Michael Berkowitz seated himself amid a vast drumkit to recreate Benny Goodman's famous Sing Sing Sing, with its drumbreak by Gene Krupa. If you know your oompah from your razzmatazz, you needed to be at Barbican Hall last night."
-London Daily Mail

The crowd of over over 600 (one of our largest ever) gave the band a standing ovation at the finish. Mike was a fine MC as well as a driving force who kicked the band along in typical Krupa style. Many in the crowd came up to me to thank me for this wonderful afternoon and to ask when the band will be comng back. Soon, I hope."
-Jack Livingstone, Monmouth County Library Music Series

"The tribute that you played to Gene Krupa was truly outstanding. As a drummer and band leader myself, I am not impressed easily, but your performance, as well as the rest of the band's, blew me away, along with everybody else present that evening on the Hudson Waterfront. Your energy, professionalism, precision and overall spirit of your organization is more than a band - it's a force of nature! Living musical history at its best."
-Jack Twomey, Producer, Gene Krupa Jazz Festival, Yonkers, New York
