JACK TEAGARDEN, 1958 Kinescope. Tokyo, Japan.

This unique 32-minute Kinescope is what survives of Jack's one hour appearance on JOKR TV, Tokyo, on the evening of January 12th, 1959, as part of his Far East tour.  The edit just before the Japanese band is where several hot numbers, including Jack playing with the Japanese band, had been removed.  The woman who had borrowed this reel passed on, and the film was lost (probably discarded.)

Jack Teagarden, trombone, vocal; Max Kaminsky, trumpet; Jerry Fuller, clarinet; Don Ewell, piano; Lee Ivory, acoustic double bass (Substituting for a sick Stan Puls) Ronnie Greb, drums; plus a local symphony orchestra backing Jack, and a Japanese jazz band.
