First recordings of Manhattan's newest and most exciting hot band, a cooperative group consisting of Freeman (saxophone), Peewee Russell (clarinet), Eddie Condon (guitar) and five others who permanently dance-banded together after being assembled to play for the Class of 1929's reunion in Princeton last June.
