Condon Band 1964 - Royal Garden Blues

[@petersmith3968]

I don’t think there was ever,or will ever be, a better Dixieland band than those put together by Eddie Condon. Simply brilliant

[@ВалентинКолпашников-е1й]

Great artist Bill Davison ❤

[@MARKMANIATT]

What You Tube is all about,rare film of giants,non more so than the great George Wettling.Don't get fooled that there does'nt appear to be much going on.This man could do stuff that you can't learn from any book.Brilliant!!! More please.

[@TheZackBriggs]

Hall's tone is so awesome!

[@mikeminguez8760]

You got that right!

[@elis6299]

Ed Hall!!!!

[@denissutherland3653]

George Wettling yes.

[@b4stepcycle]

Wild Bill, Ed Hall, Willie, all are superb. If I was banished to a desert island with only 10 videos, THIS one would be at the top. Many thanks TradJazzAlways

[@Patchor]

So nice. A legendary clip. It makes me hungry for more. Wouldn't it be a dream come true if the whole show could be shown on television again,and/ or made into a DVD for the marketplace.

[@leon38m1]

sehr gut! alte Music!

[@alanscott6836]

These guys are right on it

[@andrewkendle5444]

Holy cow, man these cats is what's happen'. Piano player is cool. What a swingin' group.

[@stanleynkele3649]

That's Willie "The Lion" Smith

[@rhythmfield]

I would give nearly anything to go back in time and spend the night hanging out at Eddie Condon’s - I imagine a smoky place smelling like stale beer and great music pouring off the stage. Sounds good to me, I would’ve gone a lot had I been born then!

[@bobboscarato1313]

The father of a member of the band I used to play had been to Eddie Condon's place and said they always were totally smashed (full of alcohol)..!

[@johnwhitehead3360]

Classic Thank You

[@marjoriemerriam8017]

Saw Wild Bill at Condons in N.Y IN THE 50's Ralph Sutton played intermission piano Great times

[@32mcweston]

Me too. The memory is still fresh.

[@rhythmfield]

Lucky you - that’s a memory to treasure. Swinging, joyous improvised music in a smoky bar filled with happy revelers tapping their feet and forgetting their troubles … sounds damn good to me!

[@rhythmfield]

@@32mcweston what a gift - Condon’s must’ve been a blast. You still in NY?

[@bassmangotdbluz]

Willie The Lion Smith with stellar stride as always and Cutty Cutshall burned it up too. It's surprising how much Cutty looks like Jack Teagarden,

[@mrmabstoa]

@pstewartdrum He also was an accomplished artist selling many of his works.

[@posseliquor]

thank you, thank you, thank you, pappy.

[@michaelsammin9055]

Wild Bill is amazing. Great song from a great band.

[@mrmabstoa]

That ending is really cool with the drums pacing away and then that E sharp on the piano three times! 3:48

[@JuanFecit]

Muchas gracias por compartirlo. Grande Ed. Hall.

[@denissutherland3653]

Wild Bill Davison was worthy.

[@jcfromfrance]

Cutty Cutshall

[@abeldelprado201]

La mejor banda dixiland q escuche en mis 86 años

[@philippevinot4798]

et le superbe willie smith au piano

[@philippevinot4798]

et avec le grand Willie Smith "the lion" au piano

[@wesesheskhnemtuhit]

Wow, just wow.

[@johnchoquette3728]

Damn ! That was GOOD ! Hot trumpet - smooth, "sweet" trombone. Waller "stride piano" . Where did it all go ?

[@rhythmfield]

Tastes change - but we should demand traditional New Orleans/Chicago style jazz to make a comeback - the world can really use this joyous, swinging music again

[@bobboscarato1313]

@@rhythmfield I agree with you but doubt very much it will happen again. Rappers took over; bad taste; foul language is today's thing!

[@rhythmfield]

@@bobboscarato1313 hey you never know…swing dancing and sort of watered-down big band music made a comeback in the 1990s, hot jazz could make a comeback during these horrible times in the world-the world can really use some happy powerful music to take our minds of craziness. Yeah-Hip Hop lyrics can get dark, not very uplifting, powerful and political but not really up and positive. And the grooves are samples and drum machine vibe-interesting but cold.

[@bobboscarato1313]

@@rhythmfield You're right but I doubt it would happen again; hope I'm wrong!

[@eecorr]

Go mr. Smith!! 👍

[@MARKMANIATT]

George Wettling.Simple to play?You must be joking.Dont be fooled by how simple he makes it look.....

[@miketalbot4]

George!

[@hunteref.1276]

Siempre me parecieron unos forros...

[@mpcguy]

one person doesn't get it. great post!! swings like mad!!

[@bobboscarato1313]

By now about 5 dimwits!

[@drbekken]

The Lion!

[@geraldnichols2722]

Too bad the video slips off several times on this because the venue is really the way I think this music should be seen--- up close and personal and with little background distraction. G. Wettling was the perfect drummer for this kind of Hot Jazz IMO. Cutty's solo got mangled my the video but what a giant player he was!

[@pappyredux]

Gerald Nichols - slips off? You mean the sync? Better check your internet connection - it's in sync all the way through!

[@pappyredux]

@TheOldjazzlover - Bill is listed! Expand the comments. Butterfield was on this show too, just not this song. Check out Singin The Blues below.

[@valvetrom]

Where is Vic D. The beautiful trom solo was Cutshall

[@pappyredux]

see 'About'. Personnel not seen here appear on other posting - 'Singing The Blues'.

[@rossanderson1352]

So where's Condon on guitar or banjo?

[@TITOMARTINOJAZZETC.]

EdmOnd Hall

[@loumcconnell503]

You forgot Willie ( the Lion Smith ). piano.

[@4205lr]

Where was Vic?

[@GIPson1920L5]

KWS

[@schnieef]

Who is the tb player ~ 2:40 please ?

[@felixheiss]
