Eddie was one hard-boiled character. Dour, opinionated, set in his ways, and
frankly suspicious of anything that deviated too wildly from the music he knew
and loved. Critics and journalists invented a stylistic war between the 'Be
Boppers' and the 'Moldy Figs', as progressive innovators and traditional
jazz-heads were respectively dubbed. Condon was the archetypal Fig, deeply
devoted to old-fashioned ideas of what music was supposed to sound like:
melodies you could whistle and rhythms anybody could dance to. We Called It
Music is the name of Eddie's excellent, hilarious, insightful, poetic,
informative autobiography. It's also the title of a rather burlesque tune
recorded in August 1947 by one of Condon's fine traditional jazz bands. While
the book contains wonderful eyewitness accounts of hanging out with Bix
Beiderbecke and Fats Waller, the song makes fun of musical categories, sneers
briefly at "...something called Bleep Bloop," then demonstrates the individual
and collective strengths of an authentic Chicago-style jazz band. What makes it
work is Jack Teagarden, who could sing anything and make it good. His Texas
drawl during the opening 'court room' dialogue might sound like Amos & Andy to
those who are not accustomed to hearing this big exaggerated southern fellow
acting the clown. Teagarden's other vocals are lovely; who else could sing so
convincingly of tulips or sheltering palms? Ruby Braff once referred to 'The
Adoration of the Melody'. That's where all of this music is at: each song is
cherished and passed around the room. Eddie Condon's NBC Television Orchestra
made two recordings for Atlantic in 1949. "Seems Like Old Times" is as beautiful
as being alive. "Time Carries On," composed by Condon and arranged by Dick Cary,
has a bit of the modernized Benny Goodman about it, particularly during those
passages where Peanuts Hucko rides the current. Ralph Sutton is brought in for a
couple of whole grain ragtime episodes. If the Dixieland revival wasn't
full-blown yet, these records certainly must have helped to jack it up in a
hurry. Cherry pie vocalist Jimmy Atkins should have gone on to work for Lawrence
Welk after horning in over three otherwise perfectly good Dixieland tunes.
Johnny Mercer's golly-gee lyrics to "At the Jazz Band Ball" might make you yearn
to compose your own marginally obscene libretto. While we're on that subject:
"Jazz Me Blues", which has been called the first X-rated song title to appear on
a record (the Wolverines' version of 1924), didn't need lyrics anyway. Moreover:
Peggy Ann Ellis sounds like one of them peroxide, lipstick and powder big band
vocalists. What a relief when "Yellow Dog Blues" signals a blessed return to
instrumental stomps. The band really pounds on it, with Gene Schroeder leading
the way. Ralph Sutton assists in the execution of two wonderful relics: "Raggin'
the Scale" and James Scott's aptly named "Grace and Beauty Rag." Then Cutty
Cutshall takes the trombone out of his mouth and sings "Everybody Loves My
Baby." Of course Cutty was no Teagarden but he's easier to take than 'powder and
pie' were. And the band swings the hell out of the tune, which is what really
matters.
