Some songs grab you only at the fifth or tenth listen and then captivate you, as this version of "Body and Soul" by Jack Teagarden did for me. Compare this version with others, and then Teagarden's relaxed phrasing on the trombone just seems right, if not perfect.

  • To SAY THE LEAST!!! Not to mention a brilliant, exceptional melodic soloist, ARTIST, improviser and Human Being... ONE OF THE VERY BEST JAZZ HAS PRODUCED!

  • This is a good time to compare Jack Teagarden to the playing of Tommy Dorsey; it is as if Jack Teagarden could speak through his trombone and communicate his feelings and emotions; when he sang, especially with Louis Armstrong, it was as if they were one. Jack Teagarden was his music, and his music reflected everything that Jack Teagarden wanted to be.

  • Perfect indeed! And completely Jack's own interpretation, uninfluenced by Coleman Hawkins or anyone else.
