They called him "Wild" Bill due to his life-style - drinking, women, "party".

His playing never suffered because of it - so he did have some self-control :)

One of the greatest white cornet players of all time.

How about Cliff Leeman  - a really great drummer.

[edmondhall]

@hamfat54

Yes!!! No Doubt - a great drummer absolutely fun to watch him play!

I knew Gene Schroeder briefly when he was bed-ridden due to ill health. A local radio station used to play Condon recordings "featuring Gene Schroeder at the piano," and friends made sure he was tuned in. I lent him a portable phonograph so he could listen to some jazz. Teddy Wilson was his favorite pianist.

Now, for the first time, I've been able to see and hear Gene in his prime. I was quite moved by the video, and wish to express my thanks to the poster.

Your very welcome.

Gene was one of the greats and as many in those days underrated, but always shined in this band.

Is this a kinescope recording?  If so what show was it from?

[edmondhall]

As far as I know it was recorded for a series of Jazz-and music films (I could be wrong) I don't know if it actually is a kinescope recording - I assume there is more footage with this band, but as it is with all great footage, for some reason it's not available, like the film Satchmo the Great.

Love these guys and how old school they are... hard drinking, partyijng, but all the same committed musicians. Great vid. f__in' a!

Eddie Condon plays special 4-string guitar tuned as tenor banjo (C-G-D-A)

[Abriggs500]

Why did they call him "Wild" Bill?

[barneybigard]

Merci pour cete vidéo qui permet de voir le grand Edmond Hall avec son swing si particulier. Il est très bien entouré notamment avec Cutty Cutshall qui fait penser au grand Teagarden avec un beau son de trombone. Une mention spéciale aux relances de Cliff Leeman à la batterie

Genial, muchas gracias.

Eddie only ever had the best in his bands. Nobody who played in them was ever under-rated !!!! They were all full-blown stars !
