A Night At Eddie Condon's
Eddis Condon And His Orchestra
With All Star Jazzmen

From the back cover: Yes, jazz is getting respectable. Virgil Thomson, ultra-critical collaborator with Gertrude Stein in interviewing one of Condon's concerts says: "The tuttis were a grandeur, a sumptuousness of sound and a spontaneous integration of individual freedom that makes one proud of the country that gave birth to such a high manifestation of sensibility and intelligence, and happy to be present at such a full and noble expression of the musical facilities." And so on. Very respectable indeed!
