- RARE OLDIES SOUNDIES WITH MR JACK TEAGARDEN & HIS ALL STARS !!! Jack Teagarden was a trombone player, singer, and band leader whose career spanned from the 1920s territory and New York jazz scenes to shortly before his death in 1964. Teagarden was not a successful band leader, which may explain why he is not as widely known as some other jazz trombonists, but his unusual singing style influenced several other important jazz singers, and he is widely regarded as the one of the greatest, and possibly the greatest, trombonist in the history of jazz. Teagarden was born in 1905 in Vernon, Texas. Born Weldon Lee Teagarden or Weldon John Teagarden (more sources say Weldon Lee, but John makes more sense considering his nickname), Jacks earliest performances were working with his mother Helen, who played ragtime piano, in theaters. His siblings also became professional musicians: his younger sister Norma played piano, his younger brother Charlie, trumpet, and his brother Clois (Cub), drums. Jack Teagarden began playing piano at age five, took up baritone at age seven or eight, and had settled on trombone by age ten. Some sources claim his unusual style of trombone playing stemmed from the fact that he began playing before he was big enough to play in the farther positions. He moved to Chappell, Nebraska, with his family in 1918, but by 1921 was back in Texas playing with Peck Kelleys Bad Boys. Through the early and mid 1920s, he played with several other territory bands, including Doc Rosss Jazz Bandits, and the Orginal Southern Trumpeters. My sources disagree concerning which band brought Teagarden to New York, and with whom he made his earliest recording, but there is agreement that he arrived in New York in 1927 and was playing with Ben Pollacks orchestra by 1928. Although Teagarden enjoyed a long career, it was at this point that he had the greatest effect on the history of jazz. The reaction to his unique style of trombone-playing appears to have been both immediate and widespread. Historians and critics widely agree: No one disputes Jack Teagardens place in the trombone pantheon. Teagarden is considered by many critics to be the finest of all jazz trombonists.... Teagarden single-handedly created a whole new way of playing the trombone a parallel to Earl Hines and the piano comes to mind and did so as early as the mid-twenties and evidently largely out of his own youthful creative resources. His unusual approach to trombone playing had both a technical and a stylistic component. His technical approach in particular was quite unorthodox. A short digression into the mechanics of trombone playing will explain why. The trombone slide has seven positions where traditionally notated (chromatic scale) pitches can be played. Each position causes the instrument to be a slightly different length, and the instrument can play a (different) harmonic series at each length.

The greatest tromboniste ever
No doubt about it, truly great trombonist.
My mother took me to see Mr. Teagarden when I was a boy about six years old, in about 1949. He, Phil Harris. and Mr. Teagarden's group played in one of the largest venues available in Phoenix, Arizona at the time--the auditorium of Phoenix Union High Schoo. It's a night I'll never forget, with Mr. Teagarden doing his music, Phil Harris singing and playing the drums, and the entire group jamming at the finale. There were probably 300 people in the auditorium.

You saw & heard a significant part of American music. I used to go to sleep listening to the broadcasts from Club Hangover in San Francisco (95 miles away). Jack Teagarden and many important Dixieland musicians played there. It was a nice way for a kid to go to sleep at night.
Thanks for sharing this story🥰
Amazing! Thank you for sharing such a vivid memory
TEAGARDEN, played at my home in September of 1953.
A truly great jazz singer as well as for me thé top trombonist i ever Heard.
Just that little bit behind the beat. Dude swings big time.
And of course he plays his trombone the same way.
What a stud!
I’m not old I am in my teenage years and I love this type of music
Shut up
I got into it in my teens too! God bless!❤️🎼
im 13 and i just find this music so relaxing
You kids have great taste in American music. Bless you.
Me too .
"Jack Teagarden died, alone, of a heart attack complicated by bronchial pneumonia in his room at the Prince Conti Hotel in the French Quarter of New Orleans on January 15, 1964. He was only 58. "I sometimes think people like Jack were just go-betweens," Bobby Hackett told a friend. "The Good Lord said, 'Now you go and show 'em what it is', and he did. I think everybody familiar with Jack Teagarden knows that he was something that happens just once. It won't happen again. Not that way..."
Well said.
Al Hall Just WoW man. I've never, seen arpeggios like that and yet be completely fluid. freakishly effortless.
I'll spreed that name called Jack Teagarden.
Thank you.
Jack had the most perfect tone on the Trombone of anyone, ever. The Greatest. And one of the saddest and most trouble people in jazz history, most of his story is one of regret and bad timing and bad luck. God rest your soul, Jack.
I love him and his playing, have for fifty years and always will. He was on another level altogether,a genius
Superb trombone soloist. Teagarden played it like a trumpet.
Much more than that
Le plus grand tromboniste parmi les grands
Frantically charging my Toyota through the cab lane at 3:30 am, not because I'm in a hurry, but because I move with a sense of urgency! God damn it. I left my heart in San Francisco. Somehow it got kicked a few blocks uphill to Northbeach. The dude with dreads gave me a new heart. This one is full of song :)
Here from a Carson vid where Andy Griffith mentioned Teagarden as an early influence. Happy I found this. :)
Oh my...I begin my jam session with Big T..and close to his beautiful, melodic and mesmerising playing...and his captivating voice..How wonderful..
Great solo on trumpet
got him with louis armstrong & his all stars (a decca lp) @ symphony hall in boston-a great group & 'big-t' is superb!
Seemingly effortless, utterly flawless.
Great musician and great man!
bob havens plays a great deal like jack. played with him for years. bob was on lawrence welk for 20 years...great dixieland playing from him too
This is epic! Thank you for sharing!
Harry the Horse salutes the memory of you Jack.RIP
So very nice and nostalgic!
Special!!
Love the drummer chewing gum while he plays. LOL
No kidding. They were all heavy smokers.
Ray Bauduc
Great info here too. Thanks for the wonderful music of course !
Just great music....thanks for putting on YT.
Muchas gracias por compartirlo.
Merci beaucoup from Paris France 👍 👍 👍!
Purty cool special fx.
Alan Zweig's 2000 documentary "Vinyl" brought me here.
It Don't Mean A THING If It Ain't Got That SWING, and here it is!
Eternal love for this unique artist. So long Jack.
Rest in peace.
Tram Bone koda! Funny to see him playing only in positions 1-4 (out of 7), but strangely enough, that's not as much of a restriction as you might think, and it might even be a good, simplified way of learning!
looks like ray bauduc on drums...he was with bob crosby and the bob cats for awhile
YOU ARE CORRECT THAT IS RAY FROM 1952 .
Una jollita
This is around the time of bebop, that was a time we should have learned from all these Great musicians who didnt care if your black or white. Then the dope took hold so many of the Great musicians turned to horse or heroin, and it changed the direction of the music
What year was this video made? Looks like 1951 if I read the copyright notice correctly.
TELESCRIPTIONS 1952 WOULD BE CORRECT .
charlie Teagarden on the trumpet ??
Yes.
He is playing in Bb but sounds in B.. i think the audio is a ST up
i hate when people basically brag that they listen to old music just bc they are young. your age doesnt make it so you cant enjoy certain music. you arent cooler or less cool for liking a certain type of music. at most it might limit your exposure to it but judging by all the cringe comments on these types of vids nobody's having any problems finding it.
Shame the audio is not the the correct pitch
The great Heinie Beau on sax,,,but no solo from the gifted Mr.B Check his clarinet solos on film clips from the Tommy Dorsey films like "Girl Crazy."
Lamento mucho decirlo. Pero nunca me gustó el trombón de JT y, menos aún, su voz.
No lo puedo creer; el era un musico de gran talento; su voz era perfecta para la musica de jazz! Pero como dice el refran:"Sobre gustos no hay nada escrito".
no black man?
Soundies were basically segregated.
They are racist
@@dangit.isaac57 That may be more true of the people who ran the recording studios than of the band members (If you haven't seen the film "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" you might find it very interesting). I read some time ago that growing up in Texas, Teagarden fell in love with jazz and actually sat in with Black musicians despite the prejudices of the period (It took many years before Teddy Wilson and Lionel Hampton were allowed to perform with Benny Goodman and for Charlie Shavers to play with Tommy Dorsey because many venues would not allow integrated bands to play). He certainly did not learn to play jazz like that from white bands at the time (1920's), and he was the first white musician to garner respect and admiration from black musicians. His friendship with Louis Armstrong was legendary. The first time they played together they cemented a friendship that lasted until Jack's death because they said to each other, "...Let's make music together!" As an aside I never knew my father to be much of a jazz aficionado but one time when I was in my teens, I was watching a movie featuring both of them when my father walked in the door after work. As soon as he entered, without even seeing the screen, hearing the trombone he asked, "Is that Jack Teagarden? He's my favorite trombone player!" That night Big Train became mine, too.
@@josephavella6251 You may have not meant it definitively, but Teagarden was certainly not the first white musician to “garner respect and admiration from black musicians.” For example, Lester Young famously carried around a Trumbauer recording (Singing the Blues so the story goes) and talked about Trumbauer’s influence on him. Young also admired Bud Freeman, who already had his unique style, sound by the mid-20s. There are other examples, though maybe not scores of them. the best musicians in the genre mutually respected one another, borrowed from one another. I don’t mean to discount or minimize the racism, exploitation, borrowing or outright stealing, commercialization that worked against black musicians, but the story is a little more complex, and heartening. Big T, was great, but so many others, just among trombone players. I don’t think George Brunies gets his due. Miff Mole was not a blues player, but he certainly influenced trombone players, and to my ear, reed players as well. So many many wonderful trombone players from the era, black and white. JC Higginbotham was a force of nature. Could follow Armstrong, I keep hearing ones new to me - whoever it was with McKinney’s Cottonpickers . I could go on, but it’s more fun exploring these things ourselves. RUclips is great for this. So good to see this example posted (though I wish Charlie Teagarden would have played fewer notes, borrow a bit more bluesiness from is brother).
@@jassW James, excellent and illuminating comment. Thanks.
Not the best voice. But he could blast the trombone. Meanwhile cultural appropriation?
I love his singing.
