[Dixielandjazz] The Music Is Not Enough

promote like he did. Damn, how soon we forgot the power of his 
promotion.
Too bad we all did not witness it first hand.

The music is not enough. It never has been."
   
  It is true today, but when I encountered the Condon records
  back in the  50's and never stopped listening; I had a impression
  that his was one case where music was enough. It was a lot of 
  the other type outfits that couldn't make it on music alone. Just my
  .02 .  And I thought the reason he was getting he attention he got was that for his outfit it was, "just the music." BTW, I listened
  to "Barbone ST." on radio365 "Gumbo" show, and the trombonist
  according to Steve was Glenn Dodson. Wow, a great player and
  fun to hear.
