Brother Barbone remarks:

"After opening his club in 1945, Condon's recordings became
 lively extensions of the improvisational sessions that rocked 
the West Third Street bistro nightly. This was. While retaining 
a  Dixieland flavor, he honored the past, but also added a fresh 
approach that extended the music's appeal." Hopefully we remember
 that Condon's groups kept DIXIELAND alive and vital until the
 day he died. Then, sadly, most of us ignored or forgot what he 
taught us.

Ha, yah! Steve! give me and my horn men a rhythm section like Condon's
and then
 you'll see (and listen) hot jazz, tempered with refinement, technical
 excellence, and freedom for musical expression! ;-)  

Actually I agree 100% with you (as almost always) but remember
 please that in many places in the World and in USA too, 
(and especially here in Brazil) it's almost impossible to
 find real Jazzmen (I mean OKOM) in sufficient number to set
 up a whole Band; what I want to say is that what you hear usually 
is the result of what kind of musicians you put together.
 We must abide with what we can get. Then, sadly, most of them
 ignore or forget what "he" (Condon) taught us.

This is the Facts. What we can do to change? 
Obviously you are setting the example playing to the young. 

respectfully,

Tito "I Want Solid Swing" Martino
