Eddie Condon Gang Live 1944 - Jam Session Blues - Bobby Hackett, Edmond Hall

During the midst of World War II, specifically the years 1944 and 1945, guitarist Eddie Condon conducted a series of half hour radio broadcasts of live spontaneous Jazz emanating primarily from Town Hall in New York City. These broadcasts were transcribed and distributed for the enjoyment of our soldiers and sailors who were off to the various war fronts. They were immensely popular as they instilled good memories of happy times back home in the USA. Eddie had a core group of musicians that he generally employed but always invited several other Jazz luminaries to participate in the shows. This performance is no exception because it is loaded with all-star Jazz talent. Eddie Condon adroitly directs the proceedings assigning the soloists and announcing their names throughout. The 3 trumpets/cornets are Bobby Hackett, Billy Butterfield and Jonah Jones. The 2 clarinetists are Edmond Hall and Pee Wee Russell. The lone trombonist is Benny Morton and Ernie Caceres mans the baritone saxophone. The rhythm section consists of Gene Schroeder on piano, bassist Johnny Williams and Joe Grauso at the drums. Everyone with the exception of Johnny Williams is pictured in the video. Several of the photos are from the actual performance. All of these outstanding players get multiple solos on an extended Jam Session Blues that is almost 8 minutes long and was the program finale. This particular show is from 8 July 1944 and it must have been a hot day in New York as most everyone is in short sleeve shirts. Clearly the music was hot; this is live Jazz at its best! Enjoy!
