Eddie Condon • Eddie Condon In Japan

 



Review by Scott Yanow  
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.

Reseña de Scott Yanow  
En 1964, Eddie Condon no estaba grabando con tanta regularidad; de hecho, este CD tiene su única grabación del período 1963-67. Condon, que hace algunos anuncios y aporta una guitarra rítmica apenas audible, se une a un grupo particularmente fuerte formado por el trompetista Buck Clayton, el trombonista Vic Dickenson, el saxofonista tenor Bud Freeman, el clarinetista Pee Wee Russell, el pianista Dick Cary (doblando en la trompa alta), el bajista Jack Lesberg y el baterista Cliff Leeman. La banda toca Dixieland y estándares de swing con espíritu y entusiasmo, mientras que el cantante Jimmy Rushing toma cuatro voces, incluido un "Popurrí de Blues" no publicado anteriormente. La reedición en CD también agrega "nuevas" versiones de "Caravan" y "Basin Street Blues"; otros aspectos destacados incluyen "I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me", "Pee Wee's Blues", "Royal Garden Blues" y la encantadora característica de Dickenson en " Manhattan". Recomendado.
