Jack Teagarden was a monster of the jazz world in every way, he was known as Big T, but he was a monster of the jazz trombone and a superb jazz vocalist. There are 46 tracks here and on each one he demonstrates his absolute mastery of the trombone. What’s more, he inspires musicians I have never heard of before to turn in world class performances. Track 17 to 19, have him paired with Louis Armstrong who regularly outplayed everybody he came across, but Jack was more than equal to the challenge and draws Armstrong’s praise for his efforts.

Living Era should be congratulated on this release and it should be in every serious jazz enthusiast’s collection. I do not intend to say more as I have waxed eloquently on Mr T before on previous reviews of his work, this collection is the best yet! Buy It!
