Trumpet to Trombone
Teagarden Tops
University students would not be looking forward to dancing to the music of one of the nation's foremost trombonists Saturday had not the Vernon, Texas, town band needed a trombonist rather than a trumpeter back in 1912.
Only a small boy at that time, Jack Teagarden was the son of musically-talented parents who were the guiding lights of the local band. In the absence $ ^{*} $
of an adequate number of trombonists, Jack was induced to transfer his efforts from trumpet to trombone, thus launching him upon the career that was to place him, among the top-ranking entertainers of the country.
From Church To Roadhouse
Moving up the ladder of success from church accompaniment to movie-house playing and on to four-piece roadhouse orchestras, Jack, at 18, was ready to take a place in Red Nicols' orchestra along with such musical notables as Benny Goodman, Pee Wee Russell, and Gene Krupa. He soon discovered in himself a talent for blues singing. Following this with five years with Ben Pollack's famed crew, he next assumed the position of star vocalist and trombonist with Paul Whiteman's orchestra; and it was not until 1939 that he left the "Dean of Modern American Music" to organize his own band.
Has Played From Coast To Coast
Assured of success from the beginning by the careful picking of outstanding instrumentalists, the Teagarden aggregation has risen rapidly in popularity, playing many of the best-known locations, including the Blackhawk restaurant in Chicago; Meadowbrook, Cedar Grove, N. J.; Roosevelt Hotel, Jacksonville, Fla.; Plantation club, Dallas; and Casa Manana, Bulver City, Cal., as well as in many colleges and universities from coast to coast.
Recordings, major network broadcasts, and movie short subjects have added to the succession of entertainment engagements of the Teagarden band, reaching a climax with its appearance in Paramount's "Birth of the Blues," in which stellar honors were shared with Bing Crosby, Mary Martin, and Rochester.
