The tenth double-CD of 11 put out by Jazzology that completely document the Eddie Condon Town Hall Concerts that were broadcast over the radio during 1944-45 as usual has more than its share of exciting performances. Condon, a frequently sarcastic M.C., was an expert at gathering together overloaded all-star groups and somehow featuring everyone adequately. The main guests on the four shows included in this set are soprano-saxophonist Sidney Bechet, Jimmy Dorsey (on clarinet and alto) and trombonist Tommy Dorsey who join the remarkable Condon crew (trumpeters Billy Butterfield, Max Kaminsky, Yank Lawson and Muggsy Spanier, trombonist Lou McGarity, baritonist Ernie Caceres, clarinetists Hank D'Amico and Pee Wee Russell, pianist Jess Stacy, bassists Bob Casey, Jack Lesberg and Sid Weiss, drummers George Wettling and Johnny Blowers and singers Red McKenie and Lee Wiley) for some freewheeling performances. All of the volumes in this essential series are highly recommended to fans of Dixieland and Chicago jazz. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
