Bobby Hackett & Jack Teagarden - Coast Concert & Jazz Ultimate (1955/1957)

A great pair of Albums, made a couple of years apart, both featuring Bobby Hackett and Jack Teargarden as well as a host of top flight Jazz/Dixieland players. I said in a previous post not to be put off by the Dixieland tag, and I say the same here.
Once you get your teeth into this it's easy to hear the sheer quality of both the music and the musicianship.
