Washboard blues --Rockin'Chair- Hoagy Carmichael and Jack Teagarden 1939

[@sodality3970]

Teagarden and Hoagy...two class acts and very important to the jazz history in America .

[@kateontheroad6437]

I just love me some Hoagy! And now I've found Jack Teagarden. Thank you for posting this!

[@hughmanatee7657]

This is a national treasure!

[@lugwrench9832]

Priceless.

[@jetsetter725]

They also play Lazy Bones and Small Fry in between Washboard and Rockin' Chair! Thanks, Bob!! Emily

I always wanted to hear/see Teagarden perform. He was one of the greatest trombone players back then. Rocking Chair is fun to play on the piano, too. Nice to hear Carmichael's interpretation of his tune.

[@LittleWeirdo-xq9ie]

My school is performing a musical tonight based off of Hoagy Carmichael, so I’m listening to this to hype me up.

I love this song, it came out years ago but long after my buddy Mike Taylor, that poor fellow is ten days older than water...

Now That is Music

[@jmrodas9]

The music of those times was really great to hear. I like it although it is from before my own time as it antedates my by seven years. But good music is always great to hear even so many years later.

rare bit of Jack's big band. Unfortunately he was no businessman. All he wanted to do was play, and drink. Great musician.

[@BabyBoomerChannel]

I believe that's Allan Reuss on guitar - but you can hardly see him - at least that's what the notes about this film say in the Library of Congress.

[@lorenjenkinson4729]

Great Music ! 😂😮😅

[@JimPhilips]

I love the music. But it's hard to watch a video where black performers are reduced to bit players in an art form they created. I expected more of Hoagy.

[@alfredtherien7791]

Jim Philips There were no integrated bands in 1939. Black and white musicians could not yet be seen playing together in public. This was a cultural reality and certainly not a choice most musicians (including songwriters) would have made.

[@brucekuehn4031]

It’s hard to say when the first black guy sat down and played music with a white guy but in 1935 Teddy Wilson joined the Benny Goodman Trio along with drummer Gene Krupa. That was later expanded to the Benny Goodman Quartet with the addition of Lionel Hampton - 2 of each color. That’s not to say that there weren’t problems with integrated groups, especially in the South. Band members had to sometimes eat and sleep in different places and there are lots of sad stories even into the 60’s.

[@hughmanatee7657]

Black Americans were not alone in creating this music. In fact most of the jazz standards were written by whites. Many were Jewish immigrants fleeing the pogroms in Russia and Eastern Europe, and they discovered in the plight of black Americans something that resembled their own. Harold Arlen and other white composers wrote music for the famous Cotton Club even while Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway were headlining there.

[@hughmanatee7657]

@@alfredtherien7791 Yes, there were. Benny Goodman’s orchestra was only one example.
