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.

Uno de los mejores trombonistas de la historia del jazz

What a gem.

Matty Matlock was one of the best.

This is a treasure of the epitomy of classic jazz IMO.

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!!!!

For trombonists: Abe Lincoln at the 3:41 mark. (Struttin' With Some Barbecue) Jack Teagarden at the 13:00 mark. (Lover) Jack Teagarden and Paul Whiteman in a short conversation together: 17:12. Jack Teagarden: 18:22 (Basin Street Blues) Jack's trombone solo: 19:45 Abe Lincoln: 23:03 Solo at the 24:30 mark.

What real musicians sound & play like!

Wow! THIS is jazz playing. Thank you to whoever found and posted this!

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".

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

Jack TEAGARDEN. KING. 💪

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!

Unbelively - Today is very happy day and all the THANKS for You. Very Happy Bixbix81

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.

Thank You for great art... Donald Fransson, Sweden.

The sound of life🎉

KEEP DIGGIN' Wonderful---

Такме вещи необходимо слушать, если есть желание получить истинное наслаждение от красивейших композиций в исполнении величайших МАЭСТРО! Всё в высшем качестве!

Amazing musical Giants in their own way. They started the music that evolved from Big Band & Jazz to what great music is today! Thanks

Che musica, ragazzi! Una bellezza!

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].

Thanks. , i like the way he sounded like a sax ,, playing soft

Músicos fantasticos con un swing tremendo! Este estilo me retrotrae a cuando yo comencé a tocar! Hermoso recuerdo!

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?

Они великолепно сочетали несколько джазовых стилей: Новоорлеанский, буги-вуги,свит,свинг, зов джунглей,плюс со всеми блюзовыми делами!

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.

Wonderful! It is one of the best records T's performance I've seen!

Great video! Thanks for this Stars Of Jazz.

Teagarden looks like he could be a hit man for the mob.

Oh, what a class act!

They made wonderful LPs on Columbia, once reissued on Mosaic.

Todo esto es nuevo para mi. Gracias por dejarnos deleitar tan hermosa melodía .

Good stuff!!

Teagarden was the man in my opinion.

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

Clyde Hurley was awesome! Sad,that there are almost no records or his full albums.

That Schweppes commercial....hilarious. Capt. Whitehead looked and sounded for all the world like Python's Michael Palin.....

Uma ocasião, disse Tommy Dorsey, eu não me atrevo a tocar meu trombone, na presença de Jack Teagarden!!!

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 KZfaq 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.

Most of the band members were in their mid to late forties, but gosh, how old they look....

Wow, the first time I've ever heard the great Paul Whitman speak (17:14), and with Teagarden no less.

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!

Swinging !!!!!

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 KZfaq 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.

Teafgarden was the guy Armstrong loved to play with.

Bobby Troup, Julie London's husband, he ws also a trumpet player!

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.

I can't even wistle what he plays :=)

Which horn plays Teagarden?, The counterweight is an R

What's the name of the tune Teagarden leads on? Very impressive.

Rampart Street Paraders Julian C. Matlock, cl; Abe Lincoln, tb; Edward R. Miller, ts; Clyde L. Hurley, tp; George Van Eps, g; Stanley Wrightsman, p; Philip Stephens; b; Nick Fatool, d.

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 KZfaq 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.

This is...like...Major! Thamks an awful lot.
