Album Details A Hundred Years from Today Gives the Best Possible Summary of Teagarden's Unique Star Quality as Both Trombonist and Vocalist. Starting in 1928 with his First Major Session, with Roger Wolfe Kahn, and Following Through to Fine 1954 Recordings Such as Meet Me Where They Play the Blues, the Generous Sequence Includes all the Numbers with which Teagarden is Forever Associated Basin Street Blues, I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues, Stars Fell on Alabama, St James' Infirmary and So On. He is Heard in Many of his Famous Settings, with Such as Eddie Condon, Red Nichols, Benny Goodman, Paul Whiteman And, of Course, with Louis Armstrong (Rockin' Chair...) 18 Tracks Are with his Own Orchestra (Somewhat Underrated) and Small Groups Such as his Big Eight. This Demands a Place in Every Jazz Collection. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsSensational jazz trombonist with a gifted singing style in t J. T. Clough | Ballard Queensland Australia | 12/28/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Being from a musical family myself, - I was tutored in my youth on trombone by an 80 year old music teacher and styled myself on Tommy Dorsey who I thought was the most explicit player of this instrument I had ever heard. I still regard him today as one of the finest players of this instrument of all time.
Then later on came to my notice, (with no disrespect to T.D.), a player, dubbed "Big T" - JACK Weldon Leo TEAGARDEN with a trombone sound so distinctive and rich in performance plus his other great capacity as a good vocalist with that lovely southern drawl Texan voice in many of his numbers like "Stars Fell on Alabama". I just fell for his wonderful sound and how well he played the trombone with such remarkable ease and professional deportment, plus a very jazz styled singing, which only added to his great professionalism. His other recordings including vocally, "A Hundred Years from Today", "St. James Infirmary", and with Louis Armstrong playing together in "Old Rocking Chair" in which I have a video clip add to a wonderful sound of his contribution to the era of marvellous jazz. I must admit that I now have two great fans in the trombone department, but with very distinguished differences. Dorsey was all Swing, playing popular tunes which indeed made him famous - Teagarden concentrated on Blues and ballads in which his trombone playing was just magnificent and well suited to his selections. A very overlooked great jazz musician of his time and a glorious talented trombonist. I have a scratchy Mono vinyl record of his wonderful music bought in the mid 1960's. This CD will be a bonus.
