Description: Jazz me Blues Condon Eddie 1964 Under the leadership of "conductor" Eddie Condon we see an all star group playing "Jazz me blues". Wild Bill Davison and Billy Butterfield on trumpets, Edmund Hall clarinet, Vic Dickenson and Cutty Cutshall trombones, Willie 'The Lion' Smith piano, Al Hall bass and George Wettling drums. Many of the famous recordings in the late fifties and early sixties were issued on LP's (I still enjoy 'em all) but hardly a film-recording was done. I have been collecting videos for more than twenty years but this is the first time I've seen a "Condon" band in such great picture and sound quality. Recorded in New York in 1964 but ever been issued? Everybody, enjoy these great jazz masters! |

| JazzWildcard ::: Favorites 2007-09-27 15:07:31 Fantastic! What a line up! And what a debt we owe Eddie Condon as a tireless promoter (should've given him his 'pork chop' though, so he could sit down and be still) and leaving Edmund Hall on his own - with two trombones and two trumpets - wasn't kind (though he more than holds his own.) Cutty Cutshall and Vic Dickenson together, eh? - never heard that before, plus The Lion and George Wettling - the legends! (Pity Wild Bill and Billy Butterfield didn't think to tune up beforehand!) __________________________________________________ | |

| jimcftu ::: Favorites 2007-06-11 19:11:18 What a great clip! Wonderful to see The Lion and Vic Dickenson joining the Condon regulars. I played with Wild Bill in the mid-1970's (when he toured Britain): he was still drinking then, and so was I. His wife Anne (a former Hollywood stalet, so I understand) told me off for drinking too much. We had a great time. I do so miss those guys. __________________________________________________ | |
