The BVJB evokes the hot era of Chicago jazz in the 1920s and ’30s, when a bunch of white kids who called themselves the Austin High Gang were riding high, creating hot jazz that took its own crazy trajectory from the music of New Orleans. And it takes the music to New York, where guitarist Eddie Condon opened a club in 1945 that favored this music and the talents of Chicagoans and allied musicians like pianist Ralph Sutton, clarinetist Pee Wee Russell, trumpeters Wingy Manone and Max Kaminsky, organist Wild Bill Davison and countless others. Though the root music was African-American to the core, it inspired any number of white players to try their hand at it, and they did so with commitment, talent and respect for the music of Louis Armstrong, Sydney Bechet and the legion of musicians who originated and developed the art form.
