{"value"=>"<p>Condon's writings, in the form of typed manuscripts and clippings, comprise the majority of this series. They include his \"Pro and Condon\" columns for <span class=\"title\">The New York Journal American</span>, which discussed the music and nightclub scene in New York City; and articles or essays written for publication in magazines, or in his books. Some may be unpublished. Topics include the state of jazz; recordings; John Steinbeck; musicians such as Red Norvo and Pee Wee Russell; a review of a book by Mezz Mezzrow; Elvis Presley; and Condon's experience performing with symphony orchestras. Some essays appeared in various newspapers and exist only as clippings. Several unfinished or fragmentary manuscripts are present as well.</p> <p>The series also holds writings by George Avakian, Phyllis Condon, and Richard Gehman, who edited <span class=\"title\">Eddie Condon's Treasury of Jazz</span>. Avakian's writing includes typed program notes and essays, including an account of the production of <span class=\"title\">Chicago Jazz</span> for Decca Records (1940), which featured Condon. The Phyllis Condon essays describe the life of their family, as well as the Condon club. Gehman's single essay is a memoir of Condon, written in the late 1960s.</p>"}
