Jack teagarden is my great great uncle.

[Gruntol5]

Which all goes to show that the white guys could play just as good jazz as the blacks.

[backstreetboy98]

wicked AWSOME

[gmdinformation]

Boy you gotta wonder if Jack had been listening to a lot of Raymond Scott about this time. Sure sounds like a Scott type of arrangement. And who's the piano player here? He's great.

[BonefidePsychonaut]

@MrSamWhitemoon hahahaha, the drummer? absolutely phenomenal swag.

[jonnybogue]

@BonefidePsychonaut That's Ray Bauduc, one of the greats.

[looselatigo]

Terrific band behind him.

[lmaistros]

The piano player is Marvin Ash (aka Marvin Ashbaugh).

Well, folks . . . this is the MOST up-tempo version of "Dark Eyes" that you're ever likely to see . . . the Russians would never recognize their national tune.

And--for the record--the proper spelling of the drummer's name is "Bauduc". A rhythm-crazed cajun from Nawlins', he's best remembered for co-writing Bob Crosby's hits, "South Rampart St. Parade" and "Big Noise From Winnetka". A Master of the Two-Beat style.

I think the clarinet player is Leo Marchionne, who was a teacher of mine in the sixties. The guy was amazing.

[hanks2567000]

and trhat is Floyd Bean on piano..my mother's private concubine!!

[mightybeeb]

[vpo2g2]

Jack Teagarden is God

[rodripunk123]

[niagaraorbust]

You got that straight. These cats blew it hard and with real jive.

[pearsnockie]

great clip. who is the piano player?

[AustinTeagarden]

Haha so I recently found out I am related to this man :)

[TheTyaptyap]

what year was this please?

[frvpros]

Pud Brown is the Tenor Sax Man

[frvpros]

I believe that the tenor sax player is Pud Brown........not Bud Freeman or Dale Jolly

[kingorthy]

Teagarden was a true great--Louis Armstrong loved him and chose him for his band: what higher compliment could there be?

[rogerstill71]

SUPER JACK!!!

[ARMYMan92]

@Jellykarp

No problem! Wish I could have put up some more!

[gaemp]

I love Big T since when I was 14... so many years ago!! :))) cheers from Italy!

[andifyouhadtwocoats]

douche baggy sound, to say the least

truth be told, Rab Hines

[FunnyHaHaFunnyHaHa]

good stuff.

[surfershack]

I think the pianist is Dave Bowman and the tenor sax is Bud Freeman; What a great performance all round. Why is the bass player's face never shown?

[CharlestonDog6]

Gret Stuff! Is that Ray Bauduc on drums? I know that's Dick Teagarden on trumpet!

Is that Matty Matlock on Clarinet? See if you can get " Bad Actin Woman" from Jack's

band with Jimmy McPartland on trumpet please!  A slow but very hot song around 1954! Thanks for posting this great tune! Semper Fi! Fom Big Steve

[dgourmet]

Great job, marvelous song. Thanks!

[caroljm36]

who are the sidemen?

[JobiwanKenobi19]

really one of the best Jack Teagarden vids on Youtube

[ARMYMan92]

Thank You!

[TheGosplan]

@JobiwanKenobi19 not exactly true - it's should be like that: Teagarden and his cats are the best videos on youtube at all)

[frankiehiyo]

Class band. Brilliant performance. Fantastic drummer.

.

[harrasepp]

This is top class - brilliant posting. It made my week.

[TesterBikes]

Thank you for sharing. Jack Teagarden stayed within the closer slide positions (hardly extending his right arm) and used his extremely flexible embouchure to play rapidly when he wanted to. However, his minimal arm movements and legato style make his playing seem so relaxed and easy. Such technique, tone, melody.

[pe003]

Jack teagarden is amazing, he plays faster with a slide then I can with valves, they guy was truly gifted!

[tonybell7]

piano player plays a lot like Jess Stacy but that isn't him

[rcwambold]

Sorry, but it ain't Don Ewell. This gent didn't play with T for long - can't recall his name just now. He IS great, though, ain't he? Ewell came a little later.

[cowboyintune]

Wow those cats could really blow man! I didn't expect to find much Teagarden on YouTube do be honest, this is great, thanks. I can show my kid what's possible with his trombone now.

[ARMYMan92]

Truly, this is a great performance!

At first, there really weren't too many JT videos on YouTube, so I did a little searching around and got a few videos. Unfortunately I wasn't able to put up as much as I wanted too, but I was able to get what I thought was necessary.

Good luck to your Little One! Let me know how he does!

[ARMYMan92]

It's no problem! I'm glad that there are other fans of Jack that still appreciate and listen to his music today!

[lamenthe]

Merci. c'est qui le pianiste?

[rcwambold]

Howard Ash, piano, I believe.

[lesterwyoung]

Pud Brown on tenor?

[1229satyrnine]

whozzat? T, brother Charlie Teagarden on trumpet; Don Ewell on piano? Certainly Ray Bauduc on drums. any other input?

[ARMYMan92]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's Ewell.
