New Orleans -- Bobby Hackett, Jack Teagarden 1955

New Orleans -- Bobby Hackett, Jack Teagarden
I could not resist to post another audio clip from this wonderful recording session from California in October 1955.
Many musicians have played and recorded Hoagy Carmichael's "New Orleans" and all these musicians had this 1955 recording in their mind while playing it. It is the ultimate melody phrasing of Bobby Hackett that has become a challenge to every serious jazz cornet or trumpet player.However, none has even come close to the Hackett standard.This made Hackett the ultimate jazz master in playing his sweet style of jazz.
Even today on the musac channels and even in supermakets one often hears a melody been played by strings intertwined with the intriguing brilliant improvisations of Bobby Hackett.
In this recording: Jack Teagarden trombone, Abe Lincoln trombone, Matty Matlock clarinet, Nappy Lamare guitar, Don Owens piano, Phil Stephens bass and Nick Fatool drums.

This is so wonderful it brings tears to my eyes. I feel so sorry for tdays youth who can't appreciate this great music. the Teagarden solo is mind blowing.

I bought that lp in the sixties in Holland, I listened to it for all these years, Hackett is a prime sample how well jazz cornet can be played . I hears him life in Toronto in the seventies and I have been impressed with him ever since. What a wonderful musical man he was.

I bought this recording in Frankfurt on a trip about 1997 from a street vendor for about a buck American, on LP. Still think it can't get any better, also caught Hackett in Nick's and Condon's, he wasn't a well guy, blew sugar from his horn.though.

The best, the best. My dad played Trombone in a small band in the thirties and "big T" was his hero. He would sit and listen to him and just shake his head and say "how does he do that?" I have his copies (2) of this record on vinyl and still play them. Muskrat Ramble was his vavorite cut.

It's called New Orleans, by Hoagy Carmichael. I don't know about any arrangements or lyrics.
