| | Kenny Davern Night With Eddie Condon CD Kenny Davern Discography of CDs
Though never an influential guitarist (he rarely soloed and frequently went silent altogether), Eddie Condon exerted a significant influence on jazz by virtue of the bands he led and his imposing stage presence. An acerbic wit and talented raconteur, Condon was, at his peak, a very popular figure on the Chicago jazz scene. His style of playing is closely associated with that city, though it will sound an awful lot like vintage New Orleans jazz to neophyte listeners. This live recording was made in a high school gym in Syracuse, NY, in April of 1971; the original reel-to-reel tapes were discovered in a basement and remastered before they could deteriorate further than they had. The resulting sound is acceptable, but the playing is brilliant. On this night, Condon was leading a sextet that featured Kenny Davern on clarinet and soprano sax, Bernie Privin on trumpet, Lou McGarity on trombone, and a rhythm section consisting of the exceptional pianist Dill Jones, bassist Jack Lesberg, and drummer Cliff Leeman. The band's renditions of such traditional jazz classics as "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Muskrat Ramble," and "St. Louis Blues" are infused with light and heat, tremendously energetic and yet loosely swinging. Davern and Privin are both in especially fine form on "Royal Garden Blues." Highly recommended to fans of traditional jazz. ~ Rick Anderson

Night With Eddie Condon songs
$12.19
Milt Hinton was probably the most recorded bassist in the history of music as a whole, but relatively few recordings were released under his own name. This LP was his first as a leader (if you don't count an earlier duo LP with Jo Jones) and it consists of private recordings that Hinton made with tenor saxophone great Ben Webster prior to Webster's departure for Europe in 1964; the remaining tracks come from a Harry Lim-produced studio session featuring Budd Johnson, Frank Wess, Jon Faddis, John Bunch, and Jo Jones. Although the sessions by Hinton and Webster are informal in nature, they are very rewarding. Their duo performance of "Sophisticated Lady" takes on a new degree of subtlety compared to Webster's better-known recordings of this masterpiece by Duke Ellington. Their take of "All the Things You Are" picks up the pace quite a bit, featuring some masterful playing by both men. Stories about Webster's affinity for playing stride piano after hours are ...

Though it was recorded in the same August 1960 sessions as the first volume of THE HAROLD ARLEN SONGBOOK, volume two is anything but leftovers. While perhaps not a household name to the extent of previous Ella Fitzgerald Songbook honorees Duke Ellington, Rodgers & Hart, or Cole Porter, Harold Arlen--alongside his usual collaborator, lyricist Johnny Mercer--is every bit their equal as a songwriter.
Billy May arranged and conducted these big-band sessions, and his typically swinging charts suit both Fitzgerald's magnificent voice and the ingratiating material beautifully. Arlen's ...
