Eddie Condon's Jazz Concert
Makin' Friends
von
Eddie Condon's Jazz Concert brings together jazz musicians for a radio performance centered on the lively, ensemble-driven sound associated with Condon's circle. The program offers a chance to hear traditional jazz shaped by collective improvisation, with the interplay among the players at the heart of the listening experience.
Rather than a spoken drama, this is a music broadcast: the focus is on instrumental performance and the character of the ensemble. The title “Makin' Friends” gives this recording its own identifying label, while the concert format places the music itself in the foreground.
Listeners can expect an informal, spirited jazz atmosphere, with the pleasure coming from musicians responding to one another in real time. It is a compact glimpse of Eddie Condon's radio work and of the collaborative energy that made his jazz gatherings distinctive.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
