...first consists of four twelve-inch sides issued by the Hot Record Society, and which I was unable to review when they were released six weeks ago. The band playing is called Jack Teagarden's Big Eight, and includes Teagarden, Rex Stewart (trumpet), Ben Webster (tenor sax), Barney Bigard (clarinet), Billy Kyle (piano), Billy Taylor (bass), and Dave Tough (drums). The tunes are: St. James' Infirmary, Shine, The World Is Waiting for The Sunrise, and Big Eight Blues...
Superlative number two is Roscoe McRae, who plays tenor sax with the Jones Brothers' band at the Savoy on Columbus Avenue in Boston.

There's also some tenor sax by Georgie Auld, who gets the same dirty tone out of his horn that Benny likes to use (COLUMBIA)... Metronome's 1941 All Star band has recorded One O'Clock Jump and Bugle Call Rag for VICTOR. Coupling can't help but be good, but unfortunately they have...
