Eddie CondonA leading figure in the "Chicago School" of early Dixieland jazz, Eddie Condon was a popular jazz banjoist, guitarist and bandleader. Active on the jazz scene since the 1920s, he also ran his own jazz club in New York from 1945 through 1967 and recorded many now-classic jazz albums with other greats of his era.

Eddie CondonIn 1944, Eddie Condon's Jazz Concert was born. These were broadcasts from New York's Town Hall series of jazz recitals by Condon and many other jazz giants of the era, playing ensemble in a loose, free wheeling session format. Broadcasts began with immediate immersion into a jazz cut; afterward Condon described the piece and named his fellow players and their instruments. This free flowing, laid back style helped make the show a hit, especially to servicemen abroad, and helped rocket jazz into the musical mainstream. Eddie Condon's Jazz Concert is a musical time capsule, and many old time legends can be heard on the program: Gene Krupa, Tommy Dorsey, Pee Wee Russell and Bobby Hackett are just some of the illustrious musicians who lent their talent and passion to the show.

Eddie Condon's Jazz Concert is a must for music and old time radio buffs alike.

    COMMENTS

    I have been a jazz fan for decades - having also met or seen many "greats" through the years. Eddie Condon is a name that dates back to the 1920's as being a part of the origins of "Chicago Jazz", along with Jimmy McPartland, Lawrence "Bud" Freeman, Gene Krupa, Frank Teschemacher, etc. During the WWII years of 1944 to 1945, Mr.Condon hosted a weekly national (and to our troops overseas) radio show that brought together a "who's who" of jazz greats. Each show includes interesting comments by Mr. Condon between the wonderful array of artists and music. Each program is truly a "golden nugget" from a by-gone era. Overall, the fidelity is surprisingly good. Thank-You to OTRCAT for making these shows available at an amazingly awesome price.

    Due to a mistake, my above rating should be the highest rating possible: On a scale of 0 to 5, a 5. On a scale of 0 to 10, a 10. Sorry !

    Broadcast on WJZ and across the Blue Network, later ABC Radio, on Saturdays a 3:30 PM, during 1944-1945 Eddie Condon had a 30 minute show originating from New York’s Town Hall. He and his band played jazz, dixieland jazz mostly, but other kinds as well. The show had a timing rehearsal before hand, after all the show had to begin and end on time, but the numbers were not rehearsed before hand. Eddie would have his usual band, and also guests, like Rex Stewart and Sonny Greer from Ellington’s band. The 3:30 PM start time was an advantage, because the guests could be on the show, and play a concert the same night. One of the most unusual of the broadcasts was on June 17, 1944. Eddie had James P Johnson, the stride piano player, on the program to showcase the songs of Fats Waller who died December 15, 1943. Fats Waller had been a friend of Waller. It was very unusual on American network radio to have a show to celebrate the life of an African American.
