The Town Hall Concerts, Vol. 10 (1945) more music like this

by Eddie Condon

The tenth double-CD of 11 put out by Jazzology that completely document the Eddie Condon Town Hall Concerts that were broadcast over the radio during 1944-45 as usual has more than its share of exciting performances. Condon, a frequently sarcastic M.C., was an expert at gathering together overloaded all-star groups and somehow featuring everyone ...

Bixieland/Eddie Condon's Treasury of Jazz

Bixieland/Eddie Condon's Treasury of Jazz (2003) more music like this

by Eddie Condon

Few jazzmen active during the mid-'50s were more worthy of recording tributes to the era of classic jazz, just three decades distant, than Eddie Condon. Fitting, then, that two of his most interesting throwback dates, Bixieland and Eddie Condon's Treasury of Jazz, were combined for this Collectables two-fer. The first includes ten of Bix ...

by Eddie Condon

The Eddie Condon Town Hall Concerts were a series of half-hour radio programs during 1944-45 that gave the guitarist-bandleader an opportunity to present many classic jazz greats in spontaneous settings. The seventh volume of this very significant Jazzology reissue series of double CDs differs from the previous ones in that, due to scheduling ...

by Eddie Condon

This two-CD set, as is true of the other very valuable releases in the Eddie Condon Town Hall series (which had never before been reissued complete and in chronological order), features four well-recorded radio shows that logically showcase the individual members of Condon's remarkable all-star groups.

The Town Hall Concerts, Vol. 8 (1944) more music like this

by Eddie Condon

The eighth double CD in this essential series has four more half-hour shows that were billed as The Eddie Condon Town Hall Concerts. Condon, who was always more important as an instigator than as a guitarist, was a perfect host for the program, not only offering witty and sometimes sarcastic commentary but designing the shows so all of the all ...

One of the lesser-known Eddie Condon groups is the one he led in 1958 that featured cornetist Rex Stewart. Of their three albums, this rare World Pacific LP is the most rewarding, featuring the group on eight mostly heated stomps including seven tunes recorded decades earlier by the original Dixieland Jazz Band.

The Town Hall Concerts, Vol. 9 (1945) more music like this

by Eddie Condon

Eddie Condon certainly had good taste in musicians. On his legendary Town Hall Concert series (a regular weekly half-hour radio program reissued by Jazzology on double CDs), he showcased some of the very best New Orleans and Chicago-style players, musicians who in some cases were quite happy to get away from their regular gigs within the confines ...

Condon Concert (1956) more music like this

by Eddie Condon

This somewhat obscure LP from the collector's Jazzology label features the 1956 version of Eddie Condon's band, a septet starring the great cornetist Wild Bill Davison, trombonist Cutty Cutshall and clarinetist Bob Wilber. Nothing all that surprising occurs, other than a four-song ballad medley, but these freewheeling performances (the best are ...

Once upon a time (roughly the early 50s), in a faraway land (Manhattan), there lived a group of singers, piano players, and other musicians and a fascinated audience that crowded into dozens of little clubs to hear them sing and play some of the best songs ever written. Most of them are gone now, but the music lives on in this six-record boxed set ...
