Eddie Condon's Jazz Concert

Walking the Dog

English · Music, Radio

Eddie Condon's Jazz Concert brings together the lively sound of traditional jazz in a radio performance led by guitarist and bandleader Eddie Condon. The program offers a snapshot of the small-group jazz associated with Condon and the musicians who gathered around him, with instrumental playing at its center.

This recording is identified with “Walking the Dog,” a tune that gives the concert a clear musical focus. Rather than a spoken narrative, the listening experience is built around the ensemble’s interplay, rhythmic drive, and the character of the performance.

For listeners drawn to early jazz and radio-era music, the appeal lies in hearing Condon’s concert setting and the direct, performance-first energy of the music.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
