Inner City/Classic Jazz presents a tribute to the great bandleader Eddie Condon and the Chicago & New York jazz scenes in which he was a prime mover. This album features Hal Smith's Rhythmakers and Evan Christopher's Chosen Eight, two groups of remarkably talented players. A great way to explore a seminal style of jazz.

“It is hoped that this CD will give those who listen a sense of the swing, excitement and musicality that Eddie Condon and his friends brought to the jazz world."
--Hal Smith

“The musicians chosen for this session are, in a way, exponents of this tradition. Their personal styles are amalgamations of the greatest stylists who preceded them. As a result, this recording faithfully captures the nuances of this “Chicago style" of traditional jazz."
--Evan Christopher

“Every minute exudes quality, with both bands putting in some sterling work and both giving an insight into what the legendary Condon Gang would have sounded like... Great stuff all round."
Pete Lay, Just Jazz Magazine, July 2009
