NEWS AND NEW RELEASES. Jack Teagarden is currently at the Brunswick. Featured are Jack, brother Charlic (trumpet), and Danny Polo (clarinet), but somehow there's nothing particularly inspiring. Good for dancing, though...Goodman's new outfit will start a flock of one-nighters about Nov. 10. He'll be within driving distance and probably worth going to see.
