Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
As both a trombonist and a vocalist, Jack Teagarden was one of the greatest pure talents in the history of jazz, a consummate and fluent improviser who could enliven any pedestrian session he played on, or stand toe to toe with masters of the stature of Louis Armstrong or Coleman Hawkins. His trombone playing possessed extraordinary fluency, an effortless invention that communicated a warmth and wit born of a simultaneously wry and world-weary wisdom. This two-CD set touches on the range of Teagarden's musical experience throughout his career, including early work with groups that ranged from the scale of Paul Whiteman's orchestra to the novelty group the Mound City Blues Blowers and such period repertoire as "Christmas Night in Harlem." Along the way are brilliant renditions of "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "St. Louis Blues." The concluding tracks come from a 1957 session led by tenor saxophonist Budd Freeman and include a wonderful version of "I Cover the Waterfront" that is the essence of Teagarden's art. --Stuart Broomer

3.0 out of 5 stars good but there's better, March 19, 2001
By sean van buggenum (sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
I've been looking for some good teagarden songs, these songs are good but there are better, and i've almost given up looking for songs of the quality that i found on a jack teagarden - red nichols and his five pennies/ orchestra record that i found recently. It includes songs like " that's the kind of girl for me" and " I'm one of gods children" , " Smiles" , "Keep a song in your soul", and more which i do admit to seeing on other cd's available now, such as beale street blues. But nothing compares to these songs that i've mentioned, The record companies should re- publish more material around 1929-1935 cause that's where the real great stuff is concentrated. if anyone is interested in learning more about these songs don't hesitate to contact me, on sean_vb@excite.com or the link with my name.
