Albert Edwin Condon was born in Goodland, Indiana on November 16, 1905, growing up in Momence and Chicago Heights, Illinois. His first instrument was the ukulele, soon switching to banjo. He was playing professionally by 1921 when he was 15. Among his early gigs were strumming for Bill Engleman’s group in Cedar Rapids (in September 1921), Hollis Pe...
On December 8 and 6, 1927, Eddie Condon and the Austin High Gang had their first opportunities to record. As the McKenzie-Condon Chicagoans (co-led by singer-comb player Red McKenziewho is absent from the recordings) they cut versions of “Sugar,” “China Boy,” “Nobody’s Sweetheart” and “Liza.” The music, which featured highly individual soloists, ho...
Impressive as it was, all of this activity was just a prelude to the Eddie Condon story. In 1938 Condon began a very significant and prolific association with the new Commodore label and soon was also recording for Decca. The January 17, 1938 session with cornetist Bobby Hackett, trombonist George Brunies, Pee Wee Russell, Bud Freeman, pianist Jess...
During 1944-45, Condon (playing what was called his “Americondon Music”) and his all-star groups broadcast on a weekly half-hour program, the Town Hall Concerts.

Nationally famous, Eddie Condon opened his nightclub Condon’s in 1945. It would be at three different locations in New York before closing in 1967, and there would be a fourth Condon’s in the 1970s after his passing. In 1948 Condon wrote his first (and best) of his three memoirs, We Called It Music. For a year during 1948-49, he hosted a regular te...
Inevitably, due to age and many of his top sidemen having their own solo careers, things slowed down for Condon in the 1960s. A 1964 tour of Australia with a group that included trumpeter Buck Clayton, trombonist Vic Dickerson, and singer Jimmy Rushing was one of his last hurrahs. There were no recordings at all during 1965-67 although Jazzology an...
Condon toured and appeared at jazz festivals until 1971. His last public appearance was at the New School for Social Research in New York in April 1973 where he played with several of his regulars. The concert was recorded (Chiaroscuro Records CRD110).
