Film Description
| Jack Teagarden was the first jazz trombonist to make the instrument sing. Before he came along with his soft, lyrical approach, there was still something slightly clownish about the trombone, all exaggerated slides and rasps. Teagarden also played and sang the blues more naturally than any white man had done before. These 18 numbers come from his early career, between 1929 and 1934, when he was still something of a juvenile wonder. Everybody wanted him to play on their sessions and he was eager to oblige. Mostly he is surrounded by his young contemporaries, future jazz stars such as Benny Goodman, Jimmy Dorsey and Glenn Miller. The numbers include such jazz standards as "Basin Street Blues", "Dinah" and "Davenport Blues", along with ballads like the title song and the beautiful "A Hundred Years From Today". An excellent selection, full of surprise and variety. --Dave Gelly |
