So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

“Eddie Condon Town Hall Concerts Vol. 2” Jazzology 2 cd set, disc 1

Love the tribute to Fats Waller episode.

Early jazz and Chicago Style jazz are comfort musical “food” for me. . . I’m leaning into that lately, need some comfort.

This is a really good record, perhaps the best by this band, all Lloyd compositions, and everybody shines, especially Chico.

I would rate this one higher than the impulse!s, actually.

Such a great series. (And a treasure trove for fans of Lee Wiley and other musicians that were active in the Condon circles.) I’m still on the hunt for three of them.

Dusting this one off as the Schuller centennial approaches:

Terrific record! 

Yes! One of the best bands Mongo ever had!

One track was omitted on the LP, Saoco. Conversation in Drums is the last 1 1/2 minutes of it. The complete track is on YouTube:
