Eddie Condon & His Orchestra - 30 Selected Works

Band / Artist: Eddie Condon & His Orchestra
Year: 1929-1944
Genre: Big Band, Jazz, Ragtime

My Review:
I shared a single recording from Eddie Condon a while back, and it was too dancey for me to pass up sharing more. 1930's Big Band Jazz really is some of the best jazz.

There are a ton of reasons I love old jazz, especially living in New Orleans, but I'd definitely say that it isn't hurting me that the music has all come into the public domain now. The downside with it is that you don't really have tracks numbered into an album, because often enough, it is a compendium of restored and digitized records. A lot of my friends have talked about how impressive this style of music is, and when they have such varied tastes, I'd say that means something.

My Review:
So yeah, How does old jazz just have SO much soul, while so much modern jazz is about as engaging as plugging headphones into a bucket of beige paint?

Maybe it's the New Orleans slowly seeping into my bloodstream, but you can always tell the older blues and jazz to the new stuff. Just listen to this song and tell me it doesn't tug you somewhere deep inside, like a friend or a lover trying enthusiastically to pull you out onto a dancefloor from your seat.

Anyhow. I just had this treat sitting here, and couldn't see any reason to wait and put it into a singles pack post (Those are being collected up so I can release bigger sets of them once a month, starting in January).

Hope you enjoy the track, something else thats fun and filled with brass instruments is coming for you later tonight.
