Embarrassing[edit]

That Wikipedia could only have come to have a stub of this legend after so many years should be a complete and utter embarrassment to the senior editors. Shameful, -and one of the many reasons why I mostly stopped contributing. Paradise coyote (talk) 01:50, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

I would like to copy some pictures from this site, inorder to use them on a report for school.

Birth date[edit]

Is 20 August Teagarden's official birth date? The New York Times and Los Angeles Times obituaries both give 20 August, but the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians and the American National Biography both give 29 August as his birth date. Do Grove and the ANB have it wrong? 129.174.54.88 18:22, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Children[edit]

"Jack was married several times and had three children, I believe. One, by Addie, his last wife, was called Jack Jr and one was named Joe. I forget the other one’s name. The oldest was a handsome boy, and he was going with some oil-heiress from Texas. She was supporting him and he was playing trombone pretty good, but I haven’t heard anything about him for the last few years. Maybe that money changed his mind about the trombone." http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/2508/quotes.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.190.56.24 (talk) 10:27, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most influencial "white" trombonist pre-bebop.[edit]

This should be changed to most influential trombonist of the pre bebop era, as trombonist of all races consider him the most influential trombonist before JJ Johnson. An argument could be made for Fred Beckett, except for the fact that he is hardly a household name among trombonists today. Teagarden is another story altogether. If you line up 100 well-known professional jazz trombonists and ask them "who is the most influential trombonist before JJ Johnson" 99 of them will say Jack Teagarden. Of the other major stylists of the era (Trummy, Higgenbottom, etc.) the only player whose style, sound, melodic syntax, and overall approach had obvious carryover into bebop was Teagarden. JJ, Hampton, Fuller, Priester, et. al, had little or no vestigial "rip-snorting" tail-gate influence in their sound. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.16.193.170 (talk) 03:19, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
