This review is from: Eddie Condon 1942-1943 (Audio CD)

These sessions were recorded around the recording ban in 1942/43 and show Condon at his fluent best with a variety of small combo's.The first six tracks were recorded before the ban. Tracks 7 and 8 were recorded with an entirely different band for Signature after the ban, and the rest of the tracks were all recorded in December 1943. Condon was able to surround himself with a fairly regular set of sidesmen, Max Kaminsky on trumpet and Pee Wee Russell on clarinet were fixtures, but he was also able to attract sympathetic players - and so Benny Morton is on trombone on tracks 9-12, whilst James P. Johnson plays piano on tracks 7 and 8. Above all it sounds as though they were enjoying themselves, not just working through a set of sessions. This is what emerges from this CD, another example of good remastering and excellent sleeve notes from the seldom less than excellent Classics Collection
