5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic. Not to be missed., May 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: B.G. & Big Tea in NYC (Audio CD)

Benny Goodman was 19 when these recordings were made. And Jack Teagarden was around 24. My favorites from the album are Indiana, Dinah, Sweet Georgia Brown, China Boy, and Somebody Loves Me. China Boy opens with a mellow trombone statement from Teagarden, and then that band starts to really swing behind him. I played this cd daily for weeks after purchasing it, and I still come back to it as one of my ALL TIME favorites. Don't miss this CD!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A graet intrrouction to the trombone playing crooner..., June 6, 2000

This review is from: B.G. & Big Tea in NYC (Audio CD)

Teagarden was the greatest jazz trombonist, he truly could make his slide trombone swing, he was also one of the greatest blues singers, who could croon right up there with the like of Crosby and Armstrong. This CD with Benny Goodam on clarinet features plenty of prime Teagarden singing and playing. Also an added bonus is Ella Logan(Annie Ross' mother of jazz vocalese jazz group "Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross")singing "It Had To Be You" so that's where annie gets it from. Absolutly essential classic jazz from the 20's & 30's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remembering Bix, February 8, 2001

By 

Patrick Chastain (Indianapolis, IN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: B.G. & Big Tea in NYC (Audio CD)

One cut alone, Davenport Blues, is worth the price of this CD. B.G. and Tea both solo on this Beiderbecke tune, recorded just a few years after Bix died. So soulful and sad it'll break your heart.
