BIX BEIDERBECKE, FRANK TRUMBAUER & JACK TEAGARDEN
VA - The Complete OKeh & Brunswick Bix Beiderbecke, Frank Trumbauer & Jack Teagarden Sessions (1924-36) [2001] (7 x CDs)
This Limited-Edition Mosaic set gathers some of the most important early jazz recordings ever made, tracing a line through the OKeh and Brunswick catalogues at a time when American popular music was shifting from dance‑band formality into something more fluid, expressive, and modern. Bringing together Bix Beiderbecke, Frank Trumbauer, and Jack Teagarden under one archival roof makes perfect sense: each of them helped define the language of jazz in the years between the mid‑twenties and the Depression, and their sessions for these labels remain touchstones for musicians and collectors alike.
Bix’s sides still feel startlingly fresh. His cornet tone, cool, bell‑like, and emotionally direct, cuts through the surface noise with a clarity that explains why he became a legend so quickly. Whether he’s leading or slipping into an ensemble role, there’s a sense of melodic inevitability in his playing, a way of shaping lines that feels both relaxed and precise. The OKeh and Brunswick masters capture him at his peak, surrounded by musicians who understood how to give him space.
Frank Trumbauer’s contributions are equally vital. His C‑melody saxophone, often overlooked today, was a defining sound of the era: smooth, lyrical, and quietly innovative. His partnership with Bix produced some of the most elegant small‑group jazz of the period, and these sessions show how naturally their voices intertwined.
Jack Teagarden brings a different colour entirely. His trombone work — warm, vocal, and effortlessly swinging, bridges the gap between early jazz and the more relaxed phrasing that would dominate the thirties. His vocals add another layer of charm, grounding the set in the personality‑driven style that was emerging at the time.
These recordings form a vivid portrait of jazz in transition. The set captures the artistry, experimentation, and sheer musicality that shaped the genre’s early evolution, preserving it with the respect it deserves. (B)
