- Kinescoped off-air on July 30th,1956, this is the complete Budweiser "Stars of Jazz" hosted by Bobby Troup featuring the Rampart Street Paraders, with guest Jack Teagarden, and a surprise appearance by Paul Whiteman.
Matty Matlock's Rampart Street Paraders:
Matty Matlock - Clarinet
Eddie Miller - Tenor Sax

Nick Fatool - Drums
Они великолепно сочетали несколько джазовых стилей: Новоорлеанский, буги-вуги,свит,свинг, зов джунглей,плюс со всеми блюзовыми делами!
What a wonderful program to watch on TV for any jazz aficionado or young aspiring jazz musician in 1956.
Jack Teagarden was for me the greatest of all the early jazz trombonists.
While not about George Van Eps on guitar, this video pictures George before he went "electric" with a Gretsch made seven string. This is George playing it "old style" acoustic on his Epiphone 7 string. Simply elegant and nothing like you hear today.
Wow! THIS is jazz playing. Thank you to whoever found and posted this!
The best of the best😇😇😄😀😃
Uno de los mejores trombonistas de la historia del jazz

Thanks
What a joy to get a chance to see such a collection of brilliance.One of the greatest classic jazz trumpeters In the history of the music and shamefully,virtually now forgotten,the great Clyde Hurley.Why don't young aspiring trumpet players want to play like this today?.The drumming genius that was Nick Fatool is fully on display here.No show boating just swinging brilliance.As good as it gets!!!!
This is a treasure of the epitomy of classic jazz IMO.
Такме вещи необходимо слушать, если есть желание получить истинное наслаждение от красивейших композиций в исполнении величайших МАЭСТРО!
Всё в высшем качестве!
Matty Matlock was one of the best.
Thank you for posting this superb show. Memory says S of J featured a very young Eydie Gorme, The show also introduced me to Bud Shank on alto sax and flute and Bob Cooper on tenor sax and oboe, If only those Kinescopes still existed.
Amazing musical Giants in their own way. They started the music that evolved from Big Band & Jazz to what great music is today! Thanks
i cant believe how well this drummer can swing into the set ups and that first number with jack is so subdued like riding a tiger
The show's director, Norman Abbott, was Bud's nephew, and later directed the final seasons of "THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM" and various episodes of "THE MUNSTERS".
Unbelively - Today is very happy day and all the THANKS for You. Very Happy Bixbix81
What real musicians sound & play like!
If you have more episodes of stars of jazz, i would really love to see the one with the Warne Marsh quintet! I would be so thankful!
Thank You for great art... Donald Fransson, Sweden.
While still a teenager, I recorded the audio of a few of the "Stars of Jazz" programs, which I believe were syndicated to local TV stations on video tape. They included Count Basie and his orchestra (and his "provocative piano", as Bobby Troup referred to it), The Cal Tjader Quintet (playing "Crows Nest"), Andre Previn (playing "Collard Greens & Black-Eyed Peas), Shelly Manne (including a brief, but delightful, demonstration of the history of jazz drums), Red Mitchell, the Oscar Peterson Trio and Vido Musso (who was pinch-hitting for an act that had to cancel). I believe I also saw this program; but, my Dad didn't buy a tape recorder until October of 1957, or I would have taped this one too! Thanks for posting the kine. Got any more?
Originally aired locally on KABC-TV, Los Angeles. The series initially aired on Monday nights at 10:30pm(pt) during the summer of 1956, continuing through 1958. The soundtracks of the show were also presented as a "radio" series overseas [via Armed Forces Radio and Television Service].
Músicos fantasticos con un swing tremendo! Este estilo me retrotrae a cuando yo comencé a tocar! Hermoso recuerdo!
Super - many thanks!
Wonderful! It is one of the best records T's performance I've seen!
Che musica, ragazzi! Una bellezza!
What a gem.
Great video! Thanks for this Stars Of Jazz.
Thanks. , i like the way he sounded like a sax ,, playing soft
I'd like to point out that Jack Teagarden does great stuff here, and he is perhaps one of the very few greatest trombonists. But, what perhaps is not mentioned much is that another great is on the video = Abe Lincoln. Abe spent a lot of his time in the Hollywood studios (he was 1st trombone at Paramount for decades), but he was an incredible jazz trombonist very much in the vein of a Teagarden. So, he's used here for much of the band trombone tailgate playing. So, for us trombone players this is a real treat: We get to see two of the real greats of trad jazz trombone playing. Teagarden and Lincoln.
Whoa
CCheers mate and h
0ris Tune of this 0
I agree 100%; both trombonists had a different approach but worked together very well.
Abe was a great player in his own right with his own style in the high register none the less most of the greats were up there. Abe knowhere in Teagardens class on slurs. Both were brilliant in the way they played. Abe's tone wasn't up there with Jack's either .
@@johndowson7929 No doubt about it!
Todo esto es nuevo para mi. Gracias por dejarnos deleitar tan hermosa melodía .
KEEP DIGGIN' Wonderful---
Oh, what a class act!
i really think the more i watch and listen to JT that as a kid in the quarter i must have seen him around with my dad and uncle or gone to a show with them and seen him or maybe in galveston or sylvan beach pavilion, who knows but he sure seems to be a very nice person
I believe Teagarden first appeared at Silvan beach back in 1923. He was around 18.-
Jack TEAGARDEN. KING. 💪
They made wonderful LPs on Columbia, once reissued on Mosaic.
Good stuff!!
The sound of life🎉
Teagarden was the man in my opinion.
That Abe Lincoln......
Teagarden looks like he could be a hit man for the mob.
I met Jack way back when and he was a very gentle man!
Clyde Hurley was awesome! Sad,that there are almost no records or his full albums.
Man he just swings.
Andriy Nahnichuk
Couldn’t agree more.Clyde is one of my all time favourites with a full biting tone
and a brilliant lead trumpet style.I think he died from a heart attack around 1963.A giant loss to the music!
And so young.Proper classic jazz trumpet playing.Superb!
Uma ocasião, disse Tommy Dorsey, eu não me atrevo a tocar meu trombone, na presença de Jack Teagarden!!!
He played many after hours rent party's on one occasion Tommy had just finished his solo on a tune and Jack took his just as he was finishing Tommy went over to him and bowed dwn to him out of pure respect for Mr T , me I'd probably faint. But Jack was my father before me who respected his playing the most and influenced quite a few of my dad's solos in his day and I'm proud to say the apple didn't fall far from the tree with myself with the same respect and influence, how could you not for his playing is a trombonists dream and standard he should if playing this genre of jazz be to play some of Jack's licks. He was a genius best and most influential trombonist of his day , his brilliance lives on through recordings such as this thank the lord 🙏 for such recordings to even exist , a true jazz pioneer who caught the ear of many a musician trombonist or not
@@johndowson7929 Very well said!
Wow, the first time I've ever heard the great Paul Whitman speak (17:14),
and with Teagarden no less.
Teagarden played in the Whiteman orchestra for five years as many other famous jazz musicians did.-
This is of course the olde Kentuckians under Matty Mat;lock!!
A few comments from the "comments" below. Trumpet player Clyde Hurley was THE trumpet solo on Glenn Miller's famous version of IN THE MOOD. Clyde also played on the Coral Lawrence Welk Dixieland album which featured Pete Fountain - Clyde never sound better! Also, Abe Lincoln did not play like Teagarden - Moe Schneider (who played with Matty on another Stars Of Jazz Show I'll post on UA-cam one of these days) played almost exactly like Teagarden. Moe was also trombonist on Pete Kelly's Blues movie. If you listen to Moe in The 5 Pennies movie (Red Nichols Bio) - he sounds exactly like Jack T on Jada and a few other tunes too. Moe Schneider was on so many recordings - you can't imagine. All kinds of stuff from Hollywood - both movies and records. Trombonist Bill Schaefer also played on some sessions with Moe - Bill played a lot like Teagarden but was more well known for silky sounding mellow ballads. Abe Lincoln was one of the greatest - but if you listen to Matty Matlock's Paducah Patrol recordings - Abe & Moe are very different in their styles - each great in their own way. By the way, Matty's son gave me the arrangement of Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans. I'll be playing it with my band at our Dixie jobs this year. It always gets a lot of applause - I'm glad I can keep these sounds alive in the 21st Century. What beautiful "modern" chords behind the clarinet solo. Matty was one of the greatest arrangers (and clarinet player) of all time. A real genius.
dept2 Hi, you mentioned another Stars of Jazz TV show. Was that the one featuring Pete Kelly's Big 7? I have been looking for that broadcast for years! I see this one of the Rampart Street Paraders has several members of the Big 7 also, missing Cathcart, Ray Sherman and Moe. Although Clyde Hurley was no slouch either! His recorded version of "Black & Blue" on the "Coast to Coast" album is intense and beautiful. If you have a copy of that Pete Kelly broadcast, I beg you to post!!
I'd love to know how to get a copy of this on DVD. I transferred the audio from an Italian LP and would like to be able to replace the audio with mine which is much better fidelity. I really enjoy seeing a video of my Uncle, George Van Eps playing when I was 6 moths old!
That Schweppes commercial....hilarious. Capt. Whitehead looked and sounded for all the world like Python's Michael Palin.....
Most of the band members were in their mid to late forties, but gosh, how old they look....
For a reply to SWINGWITHBING: The other show I have is also The Rampart Street Paraders - but the trumpet is Johnny Best and trombone is Moe Schneider. Matty's son Buddy plays guitar instead of George Van Epps and the bass player is Morty Corb. The best song on that video is Riverboat Shuffle. Several frends help me post things on UA-cam and one of these days I'll have them post that video under their name. I'm not sure if there was the "Pete Kelly" band with Cathcart on Stars Of Jazz - but I could be wrong.
Swinging !!!!!
Teafgarden was the guy Armstrong loved to play with.
+Capt Larry Louif Armftrong? :D
Yes. They fit like hand and glove. Their "Rockin' Chair" was an absolute classic.
Made from the choicest hops, rice and best barley malt. Budweiser, it's the king of beers. So do yourself a favor and pick up yourself a six pack.
Budweiser, "King of beers"? Oh my God, you Americans. You have no beer at all. Only stuff which you CALL beer. Even the Chinese have far better beer.
@@mrjimmienoone2130 Ya ain't drank no beer until you tasted 33 beer (now 333) from the wilds of French Indochina.
What's the name of the tune Teagarden leads on? Very impressive.
Bobby Troup, Julie London's husband, he ws also a trumpet player!
Which horn plays Teagarden?, The counterweight is an R
It's Reynolds trombone.
Thanks
I can't even wistle what he plays :=)
6:17 - Cliff Arquette as Parrigrew by chance? Cue cards are too far from the camera. Poor Bobby Troup is tripping up the script.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌷🌷🌷🌻🌻🌻🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐
You notice the narrator Bobby Troup stumbles when he has to say Bix Beiderbecke’s name and he is clearly reading cue cards. I wonder if he knows anything about jazz at all? Troup mentions the first Stars of Jazz program had Kid Ory 6 weeks ago. It must be lost because I looked for it on UA-cam and it isn’t there. I wonder who was featured on the other 5 shows. This is the only one I have seen. It is unfortunate that great jazzmen had have shows hosted by guys like Troup and were usually interviewed by journalists who knew absolutely nothing about the music. An example is the interview of Louis Armstrong done by the supposed great journalist Edward R. Murrow. Murrow asks Armstrong really stupid embarrassing questions and it is apparent that Murrow does not know who Louis Armstrong is and that he knows nothing about jazz at all. Yet this “esteemed” journalist has an award named after him, the Edward R. Murrow award for journalism. Why they would name an award after a man who knows absolutely nothing about the person who he is interviewing who happens to be a famous jazzman, Louis Armstrong. I will never know. The truth is high brow snob journalists like Edward R. Murrow would not be interested in lowly jazz music. He was only interested in making a name for himself going after Joseph McCarthy. That was his meal ticket to fame and he knew it. What a golden opportunity was lost here. If only I or another knowledgeable jazz person could have interviewed Armstrong instead of Murrow. I would have asked him about the Dictaphone cylinders and if it was only him playing solos on them or was there a band too. I would have asked him what Buddy Petit and Chris Kelly sounded like because they made no records and I would especially asked him if there are any pictures of his first wife Daisy Parker and what she was like. People like Edward R. Murrow don’t care about America’s cultural heritage, jazz.
You know that Troup was a jazz pianist, wrote hit songs for Nat King Cole, and was married to Julie London? His life has been devoted to music. One can stumble on a live TV program, but his Jazz credentials are impeccable. The Stars of Jazz progams were kinescoped off air by a university, and by the network, (this film is from the former source) and all probably exist. I have several 1950s and 60's programs of jazz that are not on UA-cam due to copyright. UA-cam is not the arbiter of what's available.
@@vitajazz I just noticed he stumbled with Bix Beirderbecke ‘s name and didn’t know who he was and he appeared to being reading everything. I knew nothing about his credentials because I only listen to and like early jazz. I have never listened to or had any records by Nat King Cole or Julie London. They are not early jazz. Thanks for the information about Troup as I didn’t know his life was devoted to music even if it isn’t the music I listen to. I wondered about that and you answered that. Thank you.
@@jazzguy1927 I collect 1920s Hot Jazz mainly, plus some doowop, (check out my other uploads) but I love Julie London's vocals. This film was from the collection of Joe Showler, the Jack Teagarden expert; he got this from a fellow who apparently had most of the Stars of jazz kinescopes.
@@vitajazz thanks for educating me that Bobby Troup was dedicated to music, just not the kind of music I like. I like 1920’s vocalists like Ruth Etting and Annette Hanshaw. I don’t like any of the later singers like Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, or Ella. I do like one later singer. Eydie Gorme because she did 2 lp’s of 1920’s songs. I don’t particularly like her singing but I like WHAT she is singing. I know about Joe Showler the Teagarden expert. I was told about him when I was a teenager.
@@jazzguy1927 first time I hear about Joe Showler.- Thank you; Happy Holiday.
This is...like...Major! Thamks an awful lot.
