Jack Teagarden with Benny Godman and His Orchestra – Texas Tea Party

Jacob Rees-Mog and Boris Johnson once went to see Jack Teagarden play at Mintons PlayHouse Jazz club in New York, 1948. Teagarden sang the popular song “I’ll be glad when you’re dead, you rascal you”. Now I feel I need to point out that I don’t want anyone dead and I’d never be happy about someone’s death. I’m merely pointing out a completely made up event in jazz culture that never happened. I don’t even think Jacob and Boris like jazz.

“Recorded at the Roundtable nightclub in New York City on July 1, 1959, this performance marked the beginning of a new, penultimate phase of Jack Teagarden’s recording career. His Capitol Records contract having ended the previous spring, he then performed for the portable recording equipment of Roulette Records, which would release some of the sides recorded at this gig as a live album, and which would, for a time, revive his fortunes. Although he’s a little less agile and powerful, having reached his late 50s after a career’s worth of constant work, and some health problems (later resolved), the cohesiveness of the band makes this release well-worth hearing. The group, in a typical live set, plays seven Dixieland warhorses and the obscure “When” (which was written by the King of Thailand). Teagarden, trumpeter Don Goldie, clarinetist Henry Cuesta, the great stride pianist Don Ewell, bassist Stan Puls, and drummer Ronnie Greb put on a lively, crowd-pleasing show highlighted by “South Rampart Street Parade,” “St. James Infirmary” (sung by Teagarden), “St. Louis Blues,” and Ewell’s feature on “Honeysuckle Rose.” [Note: as of 2005, At the Roundtable has never been reissued on its own, but is part of Mosaic’s Complete Roulette Jack Teagarden Sessions, augmented with a significant body of unreleased track from this same performance.]” – Scott Yanow/AllMusic.

“Jack Teagarden started 1960 off with his first studio recording for Roulette Records, Jazz Maverick, in New York City on January 2 of that year — he and the band are in great form, no surprise given how tight they were on-stage during this period, with Big T and trumpeter Don Goldie sharing the vocals (especially on “Aunt Hagar’s Country Home”) and romping and stomping through pieces like “High Society” at breakneck speed (and also showcasing clarinetist Henry Cuesta on the latter number along with T and Goldie); Goldie’s richly atmospheric “Blues Dawn” and the unexpectedly inventive and clever “Tin Roof Blues” are also just about worth the price of admission. And the whole record is worth retrieving as a killer artifact by a first-rate working jazz band of the period, and one of the finest, most representative bodies of music to emerge from the Dixieland legend’s Indian Summer of recording.” – Bruce Eder/AllMusic.
