Condon, Eddie / And The Barefoot Mob - The V-Disc Recordings

Ace guitarist Eddie Condon is noted for his ability to bring together and perform with many of the real jazz stars of his day including such names as Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller and Henry “Red” Allen.
The artists featured with Condon on this CD would also fill many pages in a who's who of jazz luminaries. The recordings were made as a morale boosting initiative by the United States goverment for troops based in overseas theatres of war from 1943 until 1949 and the recordings on this disc were early 1944 examples and also rarer later 1948 editions from the time when Condon was recording with Bobby Hackett and His Dixielanders.
A very collectible CD sure to appeal to lovers of vintage traditional jazz.
Released 2011.
