[78-L] Jack Teagarden's technique

[Rodger J Holtin]

We've discussed Jack Teagarden here a little and we continue to marvel at
his technique nearly 100 years after he made his first record.

 

I'm curious to know if any later trombonists from the bebop era onward ever
learned to adapt his technique. I have not listened to much modern jazz
enough to know. 

When our local public station used to carry a jazz program I was a frequent
listener and I heard lots of saxophone players blast out notes like a
machine gun but I don't think I ever heard anybody do that on a trombone.
After a few years that program began to take on the Otis - Schindler* affect
and I tuned out. It was discontinued shortly after.
