Jack Teagarden Sextet – Live in Chicago 1960 & 1961 (Jazz Band) — With Don Goldie, Henry Cuesta, Don Ewell, Stan Puls, Barrett Deems or Ronnie Greb
Really like that particular Teagarden group. Don Ewell does a nice job with this style of music and Don Goldie sounds fine on trumpet, just wish Goldie would not try to sing. Have the Mosaic set, The Complete Roulette Jack Teagarden Sessions which covers the same band 1959 - 1961.

I am SO enjoying this album! Great first side cut, lots of stuff going on, then this nice ballad with guitar to start the second side, with another big number to finish off the set... It is also fun for me because I had never heard of any of these players, but when I flipped the album over, and saw pic of all of them, and saw how many of them there were, it interested me enough to pay a couple of dollars to find out. Very glad I did... My daughter digs it, too...
In the mailbox today...all the way from Lithuania, in less than a week! John Carter - 'Echoes from Rudolph's' 2015 reissue of a very limited-run LP from 1977. NoBusiness Records.
Hey, whoah there, bub - I was simply having a discussion too, not upset or uptight, truly. The humor at the start of my prior post was there partly to try and make that clear. I was honestly quite enjoying your utter lack of interest in the box - which I totally get, this is clearly not a box for everyone. Was not trying to convince you or anyone else they should be interested. I simply disagree with some of your premises about the box and reasons people would be interested in it - but it's no biggie whatsoever. About the box content though - it truly is the case that most of the Hipp box has nothing to do with Blue Note, that's not controversial. Take a look at the track listing here: http://www.negamusi.com/product/hipp-is-cool-the-life-and-art-of-jutta-hipp/ Only 2 of the 6 CDs (or 7 discs total if you add the DVD) contain Blue Note material - that's way less than half. I have found that whenever a statement starts with "Not to nitpick," that is inevitably followed by some serious nitpicking.
This one doesn't get enough discussion, for whatever reason. By coincidence, I was making a jazz comp disc for a friend yesterday and happened to include "A Tribute to Someone."
Oh, you just caught me in a state of rant about overpriced boxed sets is all I'm sure there's plenty of worthy material in that box. I can vouch for the Blue Notes and some of the other stuff. My new rule -- if I am not going to listen to something more frequently than once every 10 years, I don't buy it. Too much in my collection hasn't gotten the attention it deserves as it is.
That last sentence certainly resonates with me - it's an issue that increasingly gives me pause whenever I think about pulling the trigger on a new release
