TWO BROTHERS: Armstrong & Teagarden
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2011
- LOUIS ARMSTRONG once said that no other jazzman gave him as much pleasure to listen to as JACK TEAGARDEN, and Jack was white. Born in Vernon, Texas in 1905, Teagarden grew up fascinated by the church music in the black part of that small town. When Louie formed his small group, The All Stars, in 1946-7 Jack, already a great star in his own right, was the trombonist and featured singer. The two men sang and played together on a number of All Star dates and recordings-most notably the famous Town Hall concert of 1947--until Jack left to go back with his own small group. Fortunately, we have a few filmed records of this magnificent collaboration between two great artists who were also two great friends.
The brotherly love between these two men is evident in a B&W kinescope from the April 1958 Timex All Star jazz show in which they sang and played JEEPERS CREEPERS, and in the Bert Stern documentary shot in color at one of the Newport Jazz Festivals (1958) where they performed their incomparable show-stopper, Hoagy Carmichael's OLD ROCKIN CHAIR. Their love of performing, improvising and clowning around is in every frame of film: each man adored the way the other played, joked, and sang. They knew, of course, that they had no equals.
During the years of their collaboration (1946-1951) Louie was once asked to return to his natal city, New Orleans, to be honored for his lifetime achievement. He had not been home for years. Once there he learned that the mayor of that then segregated town would not allow him to play on a stage together with a white man. Louis met his commitment, but vowed never to return and never did. Ironically, Jack died in Louie's hometown at the Prince Conti hotel in 1964. Louie, whom many in the next generation thought of as an Uncle Tom, died seven years later at his home in Corona in Queens.

Never get tired of the Pops Teagarden duets.. One of a kind pure prewar classic jazz
so many greats are gone.. good thing we have so many recordings
Wonderful TV clip of Pops and Jack. Just look at Cozy Cole's face light up, that says it all.
You know it's Louis before you see him.
One of the finest duos ever... Hear "Someday you'll be sorry" and "That's for me" with Louis and Jack. Doesn't get better!
Man, Louis' high chops were as strong as I've heard in his later-ish years in both videos. Love these duets. They way their sounds and style compliment each other was beyond beautiful.
So sweet.
Wow? those are true music lovers??? They seen almost pure????
They were pure!
Merci beaucoup from Paris France 👍 👍 👍 !

These two were very special artist and true what is written is true "Nb equals genius.
Louis and Jack on Trumpet and Trombone No. 1. But ..... do not forget Ruby Braff playing the INTRO.

A bow to the heavens
Superb
Man Pops was playing great!
Warm singing from Jack and Louis.
JACK TEAGARDEN UNICO EN EL MUNDO MIGUEL PICCOLO
Absolutamente amigo un jazzman extraordinario
Miguel a pesar de su apellido Ud. es un trombonista, correcto?
Me acuerdo cuando ensallabamos en la casa de Jorge Tonina en Flores!
The original Louis Armstong All-Star Band really was an All-Star Band. It included Jack Teagarden , Earl Hines, Barney Bigard, Big Sid Catlett. As time progressed it really became the Louis Armstong One Star Band. But the reputation of Louis Armstong as a really important person in jazz history was reinforced by Wynton Marsalis.
Ian, The early iterations of the All Stars with Fatha Hines, Teagarden, and Sid Catlett were just outstanding, but to say that the later gatherings were only "one star" is exaggerated: Billy Kyle was actually a better ensemble pianist than
Hines; and Ed Hall was an oustanding replacement for Barney Bigard. The real losses were Teagarden, whose beautiful melodic presence allowed Pops to relax and play more lyrically than was his wont when paired with Trummy Young, who was more powerful but somewhat crude at times. Catlett, who died in 1950 at 41, was no doubt the greatest jazz drummer ever, and his loss was to all of music.. He was replaced by another outstanding drummer, Cozy Cole, but by 1955 there was Barrett Deems who, though nowhere near as bad as critics made out and certainly way better than his successor Danny Barcelona, was not within a continent of Sid or 26 miles of Cozy. The deterioration was very gradual but over time, certainly by the mid-60's, the designation "All Stars", was a strident misnomer.
@@MrKlemps I agree about the second All-Star band. I actually prefer Ed Hall to the more famous Barney Bigard. but Trummy Young was crude. Afrter them it really went downhill.
@@ianbeddowes5362 Thanks. In the late 60's when innumerable health problems finally saw Pops wearing down, Tyree Glenn took over on trombone and proved to be a major upgrade over Trummy. But in fairness to the latter he was a wonderful, sensitive player in the old Luncefird band of the 1930s and 40s.
Aaaah-MAZING stuff here. THANK YOU for posting!
Great Matt NY
Perfekt.
Terrific video. Some of the best jazz I have ever heard. Wow, this is jazz.
Gracias por compartirlo.
merci infiniment…..
Thanks for this video. Great Stuff! Do you know of a source of the quote, "Louis Armstrong once said that no other jazzman gave him as much pleasure to listen to as JACK TEAGARDEN"?
Yes on Jacks death Pops told the then media that Jack was the only trombonist that touched his heart
Just a great lesson in the Blues, check out the phrasing :-)
I couldn't get what Jack said about Ruby Braff at the outset of the vid, but Ruby is a great player. The fun Louis and Jack had on "Rockin Chair" is memorable. On "Saints" it occurred to me that I had never heard Louis play any figure that seemed a cliche or stale.
Jack says about Ruby: He is the Ivy League of Louis Armstrong!
I think it is "He is the ivy league Louis Armstrong."
Ruby was born in Boston, hence the reference to Ivy League even though he did not attend Harvard.
Never saw Teagarden in living color before!
I saw Teagarden in person at the Metropole Cafe in NYC in October of 1963 and he autographed a book about his life for me and we asked him to play a couple of tunes. I'll never forget that day. Bob Boscarato; I'm using my son's Mike PC!
How great is this? Of course Pops was the best, but always loved Teagarden. Understand he, like Louie, was a viper.
I never heard that Tea was a viper. He had a severe drinking problem that cut him down before he reached 60. Pops always played great until he wore out physically in the lare 60's but he always played even "greater" when sharing the stage with Tea.

All Star Band : Ruby Braff (tp) Louis Armstrong (tp-1,vcl) Jack Teagarden (tb,vcl) Tony Parenti (cl) Marty Napoleon (p) Chubby Jackson (b) Cozy Cole (d)
After 5 (five!) years finally the *first* thumbs-up and the *first* reply. Thanks for the lineup, hope you're still alive.
Cozy Coles and my Father we're friends. Asbury Park NJ Springwood Ave
Looks like Tony Parenti on clarinet
Indeed. This was you could say a contracted band. Besides Tea the man who gives it a relaxed lift is former All Star, Cozy Cole.
🙄💚🌱🥀
The session comes from the April 20,1958 Timex All Star Jazz TV show which brought together jazzmen from many generations. That's Cozy Cole on drums and Pee Wee Russell on clarinet. I cannot identify the others. Try appealing to one of the great Armstrong scholars dippermouth@msn.com. He knows everything Satch ever did.
Teagardens were German and Native Cherokee Americans
Teagarden, with indian roots, like many other american jazz musicians. Armstrong had them in his orchestras from the beginning; so did Joe Oliver, Ellington, Basie, Webb, Lunceford... and so many others.
@@ferrancaila2666 Absolutely
@@ferrancaila2666 Some had denied this fact!
@@bobboscarato1313 There are hundreds of jazz musicians, among the best known, and lesser known, with Indian roots, certain or probable, whose identity has been directly ignored.
I have researched this and published a book, in my native language, which I hope to version in English as soon as I can.
Greetings.
@@ferrancaila2666 What's your native tongue? Scottish? I'm always interested! Thank you.
