The Complete CBS Recordings Of Eddie Condon And His All Stars
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Eddie Condon was the consummate swing-era bandleader and guitarist who understood that hot jazz thrived in the company of spirited musicians rather than rigid arrangement. These CBS recordings capture his all-star sessions in their element—a revolving cast of New York's finest players tackling standards and blues with the kind of loose, conversational interplay that defined the best small-group swing of the 1940s. Condon had a gift for assembling complementary voices, and across these sides you'll hear how his rhythm guitar anchors everything while soloists trade ideas with genuine wit and invention. Tracks like "Singin' The Blues" and the various medleys showcase the informal energy of what Condon championed: musicians who could swing hard without pretense, where every phrase served the tune and the moment. This 1994 Mosaic compilation gathers those sessions comprehensively, offering a window into a lineage of jazz that valued swing, clarity, and human connection above all else.
