Biography
Eddie Condon (1905-1973) was an American jazz guitarist, banjoist and bandleader, a central figure of Chicago-style Dixieland. Professional by 1921, he moved to New York in 1928 and built a career leading his own bands, organising landmark recording sessions for #Commodore Records# and others, and holding a long residency at Nick's, where his style was dubbed Nicksieland. He won *Down Beat*'s Best Jazz Guitar poll in 1943 and 1944, broadcast Town Hall concerts nationally, ran his own club from 1945 to 1967, and recorded leader albums for #Columbia Records# in the 1950s, including 'Bixieland' and 'Jammin' at Condon's'.
