Basin Street Blues is an album by Jack Teagarden, released in 2003. The album is a jazz CD. -
The leading exponent of the trombone in traditional and big band jazz, Teagarden was also one of the first great white blues singers. He led many small bands throughout the thirties for recording sessions. At the same time he played with various big bands before forming his own in 1937. This collection comprises many of his classic recordings. Tracks include; "Basin Street Blues", "I'm Just Wild About Harry", "St. James Infirmary","Shine", "Big 'T' Blues
For one Jack Teagarden is one of the premier trombone players of the jazz era. He played swing primarily and also played with beboppers Lucky Thompson and many other 50's improvisers. This CD is a good showcase of his fluidity on his instrument the trombone. Jack Teagarden is probably one of my top ten favourite in this particular field.
