And Mr. Teagarden himself, known to the trade as "Big Gate," is going to lead the four man trombone section. Jack was playing hot trombone when Tommy...
Bublitchki (Ziggy Elman; Bluebird), novelty-of-the-month. Jewish folk song by Benny Goodman's band (minus the brass section), featuring a riffling trumpet chorus by Mr. Elman...
