This readily available Bluebird CD gives one an excellent overview of the talents of trombonist/singer
Jack Teagarden. "Mr. T." is featured with
Eddie Condon on a pair of classic 1929 selections and also with
Roger Wolfe Kahn's orchestra ("She's a Great Great Girl"),
Ben Pollack,
the Mound City Blue Blowers,
Fats Waller,
Benny Goodman,
Paul Whiteman,
the Three T's,
the Metronome All-Stars,
Louis Armstrong (the exciting "Jack-Armstrong Blues"), and with
Bud Freeman, in addition to a version of "St. Louis Blues" with
Teagarden's group in 1947. Quite a few of these performances are famous, and although this is not a "complete" set, the consistent high quality of these recordings makes this CD highly recommended to all.
