	Eddie Condon 1928 — 1931
		Condon and others have written vividly about their early days in a New York, which seemed to be busy for everyone but them.
		Condon and others have offered romanticised accounts of where and how they first heard him (most refer to a hotel room, where he just played the blues, a cappella), but all agree on one point: he was like nobody they'd ever heard.
		Condon, asked about it years later, claimed not to have even remembered the session, held on the day the popular Amos 'n Andy program went on the air for the first time.

		Condon opened his own club in 1945, recorded for Columbia in the 1950s (all of those records have been made available by Mosaic on a limited-edition box set), and wrote three colorful books, including his 1948 memoirs We Called It Music.

		In 1927, with Red McKenzie, Condon led what seems to be the first Chicago-style jazz records ("we were just a bunch of musicians who happened to be in Chicago at the time," he says).
		After the war, Condon opened his own club on W. 3rd St., near his Washington Square home, where personalities like Robert Mitchum, John Steinbeck, Yul Brynner, Bing Crosby, and Johny Mercer, were regular visitors.
		Eventually, Condon had his own TV program (the Eddie Condon Floorshow), a best-selling autobiography, and a New York Journal-American column (Pro and Condon).

	Eddie Condon b
		A tough-talking, hard-drinking, wisecracking entrepreneur, Condon never lost his abiding love for the music of his youth, dismissing bebop with a joke ‘They play their flatted fifths, we drink ours’, just as he did to outside criticism ‘Do we tell those Frogs how to jump on a grape?’.
		Unlike many wits, Condon was able to retain his humour in print and his three books provide fascinating and funny insights into the world in which he lived and worked.
		Although a good rhythm player, Condon was often disinclined to perform, leaving his instrument, nicknamed Porkchop, in its case while he got on with the serious business of talking to customers and drinking.

		Eddie Condon was one of the great organizers in jazz, able to round up any number of enthusiastic musicians to play his particular brand of Chicago jazz, a style that fell somewhere between Dixieland and swing.
		Another luxury afforded Condon on the LP era was the concept album, which he explored on the two releases featured on this collection.
		For once Condon can be heard, albeit faintly, and we get a glimpse of his prowess as a rhythm guitarist, suggesting that he was as much a leader behind the instrument as he was without it.

	CD Review of Kenny Davern - Kenny Davern: A Night With Eddie Condon on Arbors Jazz @ jazzreview.com
		The Condon band was legendary in its own time, having been the proving ground for Pee Wee Russell, Ed Hall, Ralph Sutton, Joe Sullivan, Wild Bill Davison and a host of other stars.
		Kenny Davern was the "baby" of the Condon bunch and was in his thirties at the time of this 1971 session in Syracuse, NY.
		One of Condon's best-known one-liners always occurred in a club when an unfortunate waiter would trip and cause a loud clatter of breaking glass.

		Eddie had excellent qualifications for a nightclub operator, - he was a sociable man who could hold his liquor, and was a very fine musician with many musician friends who could come in and help out.
		Eddie and the other bandsmen referred to Pesci as "Ivan The Terrible" --probably because it was Pesci who controlled the purse strings.
		Eddie passed away at age 68, in 1973, and in that same year, The St. Martin's Press published his last book, -'The Eddie Condon Scrapbook Of Jazz'.

	The Classic Columbia Condon Mob Sessions (#206)
		He loved that it happened in basement nightclubs; he loved that it made squares hold their ears; he loved the camaraderie and the noise and the laughter it brought.
		Many of the featured sidemen in Condon's orbit (Bud Freeman, Bobby Hackett, Wild Bill Davison, George Wettling to name four) were also leaders in their own right and world-class jazz soloists regardless of style.
		Condon's tireless efforts to keep his brand of jazz alive proved infectious.

		Although Eddie Condon was a fine tenor guitarist, his true talent was the ability to create a space, be it a band, a radio show, or a nightclub, where the best musicians of his day could play pure jazz.
		Condon's brand of hot jazz is sometimes mislabeled as Dixieland, and while most of the tracks have the same sense of driving rhythm as New Orleans jazz, many of the soloists, particularly Freeman on tenor sax, were playing lines as melodically sophisticated as anything heard in the more popular swing bands.
		Eddie Condon was one of Jazz's great personalities from the 1920's through his death in 1973.

		Although this remastered recording of a 1971 high-school concert was released under clarinetist/sopranoist Kenny Davern's name, the leader was actually the irrepressible Eddie Condon.
		Condon played rhythm guitar on a few tunes, but served mostly in his familiar role as straw boss and cheerleader for an all-star group of Chicago-style players that included, in addition to Davern, trumpeter Bernie Privin, trombonist Lou McGarity, pianist Dill Jones, bassist Jack Lesberg and drummer Cliff Leeman.
		Condon can be heard throughout joking with the audience, calling tunes, setting tempos, assigning solos, giving instructions and generally urging on his charges.

		Condon always chose outstanding musicians and the music was laid-back, solid and honest.
		Eddie himself didn't like labels ("we call it music"), so whatever you want to call it, dixieland, Chicago style, trad, or whatever, don't miss it.

		During the post-war period, Peanuts played in the bands of Benny Goodman, Ray McKinley, Eddie Condon, and Jack Teagarden.
