Dear Bob,
That Wilber "Davenport Blues" was recorded for Columbia on 24 Sept 1957 
and released on the 'Dixieland Jam' LP/CD albums.
For those who might want to seek it out. It is also on the the Mosaic 
CD set 'The Complete CBS Recordings Of Eddie Condon And His All Stars'.
A fine solo.
I'm playing it as I write this.
Kind regards,
Bill.
