Description
Recommended
By 1964, Eddie Condon was not recording all that regularly; in fact this CD has his only recording from the 1963-67 period. Condon, who does some announcing and contributes some barely audible rhythm guitar, is joined by a particularly strong group consisting of trumpeter Buck Clayton, trombonist Vic Dickenson, tenor saxophonist Bud Freeman, clarinetist Pee Wee Russell, pianist Dick Cary (doubling on alto horn), bassist Jack Lesberg and drummer Cliff Leeman. The band plays Dixieland and swing standards with spirit and enthusiasm while singer Jimmy Rushing takes four vocals including a previously unissued 'Blues Medley.' The CD reissue also adds 'new' versions of 'Caravan' and 'Basin Street Blues'; other highlights include 'I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me,' 'Pee Wee's Blues,' 'Royal Garden Blues' and Dickenson's charming feature on 'Manhattan.' Recommended.
