Jazz / Dixieland; Swing
Recorded: May 1949-Jun 26, 1959
A pair of formerly very rare LPs are reissued on this CD that features the distinctive clarinetist Edmond Hall. The last eight selections are chosen from the dozen originally issued by the New Hampshire Library of Traditional Jazz, taken from a 1949 radio broadcast. Teamed with trumpeter Johnny Windhurst and trombonist Vic Dickenson in a sextet, Hall not only performs Dixieland and swing standards but offbeat choices in "Robbins Nest," Duke Ellington's "Jack the Bear," and Mary Lou Williams' "Lonely Moments." Dickenson on "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" is a particular delight, as is the largely forgotten but talented Windhurst, who recalls Bobby Hackett in spots. The first ten numbers, a reissue of the very obscure LP Rumpus on Rampart Street (put out by the long defunct Rae-Cox label) has Hall in the spotlight, whether with a quintet or a septet with background harmonies provided by fellow clarinetists Omer Simeon and Herbert Hall (Edmond's brother). Although it is a pity that the three clarinetists never get to trade off, Edmond Hall is heard throughout in excellent form, performing seven of his standards (a few deserve to be revived), "Lover," "Hallelujah," and Charlie Shavers' atmospheric "Dawn on the Desert." Recommended.

It took Edmond Hall a long period to develop his own musical individuality, but by the early '40s he had a very distinctive and dirty sound on the clarinet that was immediately recognizable within one note. One of four clarinet playing brothers (including Herbie Hall) who were the sons of early clarinetist Edward Hall, Edmond worked in many bands in New Orleans (including Buddy Petit's during 1921-1923) before going to New York in 1928 with Alonzo Ross. He was with Claude Hopkins' orchestra (1929-1935), doubling on baritone and only occasionally sounding like his future self on clarinet. Hall played with Lucky Millinder, Zutty Singleton, and Joe Sullivan, and had his style together by the time he joined Red Allen in 1940. He was with Teddy Wilson's sextet (1941-1944) and turned down an opportunity to be Barney Bigard's successor with Duke Ellington's Orchestra in 1942. In 1944, Hall began working with Eddie Condon (including appearances on his Town Hall Concert radio series), led his own group at Cafe Society, spent a few years based in Boston, and then during 1950-1955 was in the house band at Condon's club. Edmond Hall toured the world as a member of Louis Armstrong's All-Stars (1955-1958), worked in the 1960s now and then with Condon, and made his final recording (before his death from a heart attack) at John Hammond's 1967 Spirituals to Swing concert. He recorded as a leader for Blue Note (1941-1944), Commodore, Savoy, Storyville, United Artists, and some smaller labels.
