Jack Teagarden

4-CD DELUXE SET BOX

A night in July 1959 will be the most telling legacy of the Jack Teagarden sextet with trumpeter Don Goldie, clarinetist Henry Cuesta, pianist Don Ewell, bassist Stan Puls and drummer Ronnie Greb. Twenty-one new discoveries have been added to the original eight performances on Teagarden's "At The Roundtable" album. The same group recorded the aptly titled "Jazz Maverick" in the studio in January 1960. A year later, with Barrett Deems at the drums, they recorded twenty-four pieces, five of which are issued here for the first time. The rest appeared on "The Dixie Sound Of Jack Teagarden" and the posthumously issued "A Portrait Of Mr. T". Especially on the live material from the Roundtable in New York City, which occupies half of this set, this group's ability to work together and inspire each other to create joyful jazz is especially rewarding.
