- Albert Edwin Condon (16 November 1905 -- 4 August 1973), better known as Eddie Condon, was a jazz banjoist, guitarist, and bandleader. A leading figure in the so-called "Chicago school" of early Dixieland, he also played piano and sang on occasion.
Condon was born in Goodland, Indiana. After some time playing ukulele, he switched to banjo and was a professional musician by 1921. He was based in Chicago for most of the 1920s, and played with such jazz notables as Bix Beiderbecke, Jack Teagarden and Frank Teschemacher.
In 1928 Condon moved to New York City. He frequently arranged jazz sessions for various record labels, sometimes playing with the artists he brought to the recording studios, including Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller. He organised racially-integrated recording sessions - when these were still rare - with Waller, Armstrong and Henry 'Red' Allen. He played with the band of Red Nichols for a time. Later, from 1938 he had a long association with Milt Gabler's Commodore Records.
From the late 1930s on he was a regular at the Manhattan jazz club Nick's. The sophisticated variation on Dixieland music which Condon and his colleagues created there came to be nicknamed "Nicksieland." By this time, his regular circle of musical associates included Wild Bill Davison, Bobby Hackett, George Brunies, Edmond Hall and Pee Wee Russell. In 1939, he appeared with "Bobby Hacket and Band" in the Warner Brothers & Vitaphone film musical short-subject, "On the Air".
Condon also did a series of jazz radio broadcasts from New York's Town Hall during 1944-45 which were nationally popular. These recordings survive, and have been issued on the Jazzology label.
From 1945 through 1967 he ran his own New York jazz club, Eddie Condon's. In the 1950s Condon recorded a sequence of classic albums for Columbia Records. The musicians involved in these albums - and at Condon's club - included Wild Bill Davison, Bobby Hackett (cornet), Billy Butterfield (trumpet), Edmond Hall, Peanuts Hucko, Pee Wee Russell, Bob Wilber (clarinet), Cutty Cutshall, Lou McGarity, (trombone), Bud Freeman (tenor sax), Gene Schroeder, Dick Carey, Ralph Sutton (piano), Bob Casey, Walter Page, Jack Lesberg, Al Hall (bass), George Wettling, Buzzy Drootin, Cliff Leeman (drums).

Reminds me off NYC in the 50s listening to music at Eddie Condons, Nick's, Jimmy Ryan's, Central Plaza and Childs Paramont. Great music, great times
What a great group. Fantastic ensemble playing and excellent solos. The right balance for great jazz.
It just doesn't get any better than this!
Legendary Eddie Condon and His All Stars!!!! The Greatest!!!!!
Phenomenal ❤🎉😊
What classy style these guys had . . . the blend of harmonies and individualism is perfection
I agree. Great stuff!
Great carry over of ‘30’s Small Group Swing in early’40’s before BePop HIT
What a great band, I saw Wild Bill in Toronto in late 1960,s he blew me away then, still does on this clip.
Yes, a great band indeed!
My God, I'd give almost anything if I could play like one of these guys for just one day.
Jeez.
I just spotted Peanuts Hucko on clarinet (clarinnetist in the Glen Miller AAF band that was in England in 1944.
I met him a few times in the '90's when he was playing in jazz clubs in London and Cambridge, and he also attended the GM reunion concerts.
What a beautiful style he had. Sadly passed away a few years ago. He was married to the e-wife of trumpeter Harry James
Note, this is stereophonic record! TV was monophonic (and B/W), but show was filmed in color and mixed in stereo for future viewers (for us) 😀
This is what great jazz is all about. This is some of the greatest jazz of the 20th century; and thanks for the posting
This is just fantastic playing. What a joy!
Just love it, what a swingin' band!
I strongly recommend "We called it Music", Eddie ´s autobiography.
I miss that old man
Always liked the style of cutty on the slide horn and practiced hundreds if not thousands of minutes , wot a swing man 👏 for uploading
Excelente grupo de jazz, todos de primeiríssima linha, hoje praticamente considerados como lendas, como o espetacular trompetista, Wild Bill Davison, o clarinetista Peanuts Hucko, mais os demais!! Incluindo o competentíssimo band-leader Eddie Condon.
Idolos,Eddie y sus grandes maestros del jazz.Su estilo,Dixieland de Chicago,inspirò a nuestro grupo ,la Valparaiso Dixieland Jazz Band,ciudad puerto de Chile Central.,formada el año 1988 vigente a la fecha..Los invito a vernos en CZcams,Adios,hasta pronto...Carlos Briede Garcìa,trombonista del grupo.
I FOLLOWED BUZZY IN THE BAND , THE SALT CITY SIX, BUT DID NOT KNOW HOW GOOD HE PLAYED UNTIL I SAW THIS VIDEO. HE WAS GREAT. THAT BAND WAS OUT OF SYRACUSE AND HAD ALL HEAD ARRANEMENTS , YOU NEEDED A GOOD MEMORY FOR.
You must be in my age group (84). I played trombone with guys from the Salt City Six too. Dave Remington, BoB Cousins etc. in Chicago circa 1950s.
So many musos have died now, I can't find cats to jam with.
A decade younger than Gerald, I used to hear Bu++y Drootin a lot at George Wien's Storyville in Boston. George Wettling, Cliff Leeman, and Bu++y Drootin were all great, highly individual drummers and regular Condonites. George was the steadiest, probably the swing-worthy, Cliff was the wittiest, and Bu++y had the best hands, hands down.
I am also from Syracuse I'd love to learn more about your band or chat sometime I'm Caleb Crittenden I'm a concert promoter you can probably message me on here or email me at clbcrttndn2012@gmail.com

Flaubert wrote of "le vrai chose" -- the real thing. This is it, children. Listen and learn.
Eddie had a pretty sharp wit. Apparantly he was avery heavy smoker and to try to make him quit his wife showed him a list of musicians who had died from smoking. EDDIE STUDIED IT FOR A WHUILE AND REPLIED 2
Dit waren toen DE dixie orkesten ca 1970
I'm sure I have heard these recordings before but it is great to re-visit. This is as good as it gets with Condon's outfit IMO; especially in top form is Cutty on bone. What is wrong with the dialogue of Eddie? Can't understand him at all.
The pulse of the rhythm section is to die for!
I was told by a friend long ago that Eddie was a serious drinker!
The opening tune (over shown record cover) is NOT the Condon band
Don't know what happened there folks... obviously a bit of finger trouble.
Eddie's reply to his wife was"We're short of a drummer!"
Good gallows humor. I'm just glad we're alive to enjoy Eddie.
All Pro's..........................and how about Mr.Buzzy Drootin on skins? Of course O'l Wild Bill ain't
exactly chopped liver.
AT THIS TME THIS IS JZZ THE BEST MUSICIANS PITTY THERE AR REEMPLACED BY SOME CIRCUS NOTHING BAD BUT NOT REALLY JAAZZ CRFE
A bunch of jazz musicians that spent YEARS developing their craft, not guitar strummers playing on electronic boxes for 3 weeks! Class acts, all, very few REAL artists to take their place. (Rap-hip hop?=GARBAGE!)
