Synopsis

Album Description
This 2-CD set contains two long out-of-print Eddie Condon recordings originally released by Columbia in the mid-1950s. "Jam Session" was his first on the Columbia label, and features four tracks (1-4) recorded by Condon in NYC, and six (5-10) recorded in Hollywood by The Rampart Street Paraders, a group of former Bob Crosby bandmates assembled by Paul Weston. "Jammin' At Condon's" was Condon's first "solo" LP for Columbia (the first album he did for them in which he didn't share the record with another act). The highlight of this album is the 13-minute rendition of "How Come You Do Me Like You Do."

CD Reviews

You can't go wrong listening to Eddie Condon

"Eddie Condon's groups were always a fun-loving, free-swinging journey into Chicago/New York style dixieland. He always fronted the best possible players; Ed Hall, Cutty Cutshall, "wild Bill" Davidson, Billy Butterfield, Peanuts Hucko, Bud Freeman and when you listen to them you knew they were having fun. This "twofer", originally cut on two albums in '54 & '55 on Columbia, finally made his music available to the public on a national basis on a popular label. I remember buying "Jammin' at Condons" after only listening to the first cut, "There'll be some changes made". I just had to have this wonderful sound (no HI FI, Stereo, nor Surround Sound) to play on my RCA Victrola. I never regretted it and, if you've never heard Condon's bunch, you'll never regret picking up this CD. I guarantee it!"

"I purchased the original LP of this dual album in the 1950s when I served in the Air Force. It is the finest album of dixieland music I ever heard--and I heard a bunch of them. The quality of the recording (not the music--it was perfect) was not up to Columbia's standards. The needles would not track. But I taped it on reel-to-reel and still enjoyed it. I have kept the album intact for 50 years--hoping someday to find a tape recording of it. Then TODAY I discovered it was available on CD. I can't tell you how pleased I am. Tom Barnard"

"Back in the mid fifties, the first recording I had ever heard of "Dixieland Music" (at that time I didn't know about Chicago-style Jazz)was Jammin' At Condon's. That began a life-long love affair with traditional jazz. It was wonderful to listen to this CD because the sound quality of the music is so much better than the original LP - which I had transferred to tape, cd, mp3, computer and iPod. I own dozens of TradJazz Cd's but this one is far and away the best."
