All these musicians are gifted masters of this fabulous music we call jazz. Each are a blessing from all Mighty GOD!!!

[@daveytough8112]

Yes indeed! They all had God given talent which they freely shared. We are fortunate that these recordings live on.

Me recuerda al improntu ensemble .

[@sywedis4019]

Your namesake would approve !

[@jmr152]

Love that you pictured and labeled the artists as they played in the recording. Imagine a large ballroom with a hundred couples dancing to these songs. That's what it was like in 1944. :)

I have heard Cutty Cutshall on some of the recordings playing trombone

Dr. Suess wasn't the only one destroyed! WONDERFUL ---

[@MrKlemps]

Drummers are important: no Cliff Leeman, no Dave Tough, no George Wettling, and so this jam session on the blues seems stuck in non- swinging mud. Bobby Hacket wasn't Bobby Hacket yet and nobody seems at his best, except for Billy Butterfield, whose interpolated lick from Rhapsody in Blue and other stories lights it up for a while. Eddie's sessions from the '50's--three and a half albums for Columbia--were terrific, certainly preferable to this one. A shot of "Old Man Chivas" before dinner tonight--in Eddie's memory!!

[@mortenfriis4688]

Thought it was pretty ok actually.. not all sessions are equally inspiring.. btw always found Eddie Condons Coast to Coast jam session one of the best..

[@MrKlemps]

​@@mortenfriis4688 Agree. I think Cliff Leeman played that session.

[@Edv468]

I think its swinging pretty good

[@douglasschoppert8856]

Wonderful stuff!!! Was this at Town Hall?

[@daveytough8112]

I’m very glad you enjoyed this post. Yes it emanated from Town Hall in NYC on 8 July 1944.

[@JAZZCLASSIQUE]

Wonderful, and a nice idea to illustrate with photos of the soloists ! A pity there is the terrible Pee Wee Russel amongst all these outstanding musicians, but he does not succed in wasting the music!

[@jimdenham4008]

Pee Wee was a genius! Condon knew that and featured him wherever possible.

[@MrKlemps]

@@jimdenham4008 Mostly right. Eddie took him in off the street and did give him a lot of opportunities after Pee Wee nearly died, but I don't think Eddie was able to understand that Pee Wee was something of a modernist genius, a true original, whose scope was much wider than "Chicago Style".

[@loumcconnell503]

@@MrKlemps Eddie introduced PeeWee as “ Charlie Ellsworth Russel the thin man of swing “
