A Hundred Years from Today: the Genius of Jack Teagarden
1/2. Born 100 years ago this week, Jack Teagarden was the first truly great jazz trombone soloist. In the 1920s Jack played and sang in his lazy Texan drawl with Red Nichols, Benny Goodman , Eddie Condon and Louis Armstrong before joining
Paul Whiteman as the star soloist in the 1930s.
Alongside archival interviews with Jack and Charlie Teagarden , Geoffrey Smith is joined by trombonists Roy Williams and Scott Stroman to look at Jack's early work and examine what made up his unique sound. Producer Patrick Johns
