Gene Krupa and His Orchestra, also Gene Krupa, His Drums & His Orchestra or Gene Krupa Orchestra for short, was a big band led by drummer Gene Krupa that existed from late 1938 to early 1943 and from mid-1944 to 1951.

Between 1941 and 1943, with the addition of trumpeter Roy Eldridge and vocalist Anita O’Day, the band enjoyed what seemed like its greatest successes with pop and swing numbers. In his solos, which Eldridge played in the high registers, for example, “in the lyrical processing” of “Rockin’ Chair” sounded the first traces of the coming bebop. “O’Day, on the other hand, impressed with her talent for scat singing with a hip, restrained phrasing of even the corniest material”
