B. Bumble & The Stingers

B. Bumble & The Stingers, an American instrumental ensemble active in the early 1960s, became known for their rock and roll arrangements of classical melodies. Their most famous tracks include “Bumble Boogie,” which was an adaptation of Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Flight of the Bumblebee,” and “Nut Rocker,” a fast-paced version of Tchaikovsky’s “March” from the “Nutcracker Suite.” These innovative renditions were characterized by a lively piano-led rock sound, and they brought a unique twist to both classical compositions and the rock ‘n’ roll genre of the time.
