Early Days In New York- By: B. McCanna, 09 Aug 2007 Eddie Condon was born in Indiana & cut his jazz teeth in Chicago. In 1928 he moved to New York, where he participated in some classic sessions. The first two tracks tend not to be included in Molers' compilations, so it's good to have them here. Having got his toe in the door, Condon then began organising his own sessions, taking vocals on the first two, but then handing over to Jack Teagarden. The third session is the best-known, & both takes of the two tunes recorded are included.
That's followed by the ten Mound City Blue Blowers sides cut between August 1929 & June 1931, with the chronological interpolation of the two sides made in October 1930 with the prefix of Red McKenzie's name, but never issued at the time. These give us the opportunity to listen variously to Glenn Miller, Pee Wee Russell, Coleman Hawkins, Benny Goodman, Bud Freeman, Fats Walller, Muggsy Spanier & Jimmy Dorsey letting their hair down & having fun.
