Miff himself ended his career sounding much like Teagarden (as much as anyone could, at least). he was the first truly "modern" sounding trombonist. Nothing like it had occurred before and his influence reverberated throughout the trombone kingdom, never to be undone. His style was completely original and trombonistic. While Miff Mole was the recording trombonist prior to Teagarden, his style was more related to cornetists of the day, playing in a "shuffling the arpeggios" kind of style that is reminiscent to some Beiderbeck and Red Nichols. I'd bet there are tons of dissertations analyzing JJ, Teagarden, and someone more modern. I won't add George Brunies or Eddie Edwards as they often did not improvise.įor the middle, everybody's crazy about JJ (for good reason) but there are others like Trummy Young, Sam Nanton, and even Tommy Dorsey. He's not as famous now, but was back then. Quote from: BGuttman on May 11, 2017, 10:46AMAn alternative to Teagarden might be Miff Mole.
