I think an accurate guess would be 1948 to 50.I would'nt say before that date but could be wrong.More to the point; just how much would you pay to see this band were it possible?My thoughts exactly!!!I was once told that Condons brother had film of the Condon Floor Show,early TV programmes but as yet they have'nt materialised.Recordings on record however have and its wonderful.As I recall they are from the late 40's.As for Buddy being brutal??Thats how he played.Wettling,Krupa,Leeman did theirs.
A true treasure! ... And can anyone date this? I'm guessing mid-'40's, by the presence of stalwarts like Joe Bushkin, Peanuts Hucko -- even trombonist Will Bradley, who could blow fine jazz trombone in a variety of settings. Buddy Rich, though ... that's a surprise! He did love to play, for sure. Wonder who was on bass. Long live Condon!

That's Bobby Hackett on cornet. Buddy is doing it a bit brutal, don't you agree?
