1. Everything on this album is great

Sugar, Shim-Me-Sha-Wabble, Avalon, The Dada Strain, Blue in C, The Mooche, I Can't Believe You're in Love With Me, Struttin' With Some Barbecue, China Boy (Krupa is awesome on the last song he did).

So, what the heck, listening in real time and I'll link to each tune. Worth a listen. Condon is the band leader, really, no guitar work,,,,but the other 4...oh boy, they were on....

A great version of a classic. Krupa and "Wild Bill" Davison are terrific. Hell, they are all playing with great fun and vigor.
