To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first jazz album (meaning a specially released series of 78s that came out in 1939), a variety of Chicago jazz veterans under the leadership of rhythm guitarist
Eddie Condon (all of whom gigged regularly with
Condon anyway) jammed through ten Dixieland standards. Trumpeter
Max Kaminsky, trombonist
Cutty Cutshall, tenor-saxophonist
Bud Freeman and clarinetist
Pee Wee Russell formed a particularly potent frontline and their LP (which has yet to be reissued on CD) has such highlights as spirited versions of "Chicago," "I've Found a New Baby," "Love Is Just Around the Corner," "Oh Baby" and "Nobody's Sweetheart Now."
