Eddie Condon & His All Stars

Some Dixieland now recorded in 1958...music of the 20's...fill your ears with this great sound then put your feet up ready for 2 Pianos !!!

1957's The Roaring Twenties, salutes a host of jazz luminaries of the pre-swing era, from Lee Wiley and Turk Murphy to Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong. Condon -- appearing with cornetist Wild Bill Davison, drummer George Wettling, clarinetist Bob Wilber, bassist Leonard Gaskin, and trombone player Vic Dickenson -- illustrates perfectly how much fun jazz was before it took itself seriously, jamming on "Minor Drag," "That's a Plenty," and ten other tunes.

A lighthearted session with not much to challenge listeners but plenty to entertain them, The Roaring Twenties features a couple of longtime veterans of Dixieland-inspired jazz enjoying themselves playing the songs they'd known for decades.
