Jack Teagarden
Texas 1905/ Luisiana 1964
Trombone, Singer

He starts, by directing at the age of 16, his own trio; then he drifts in and out of several orchestras, ending up in Louis Armstrong's All Stars. Jack and Louis became a famous couple whose numbers have made their place in the history of jazz. Jack was an out-standing traditional jazz trombone but he has also been a significant influence in modern jazz styles. BUY
