Weldon Leo "Jack" Teagarden (August 20, 1905-January 15, 1964) was an influential jazz trombonist and vocalist. Born in Vernon, Texas, his brothers Charlie and Clois "Cub" and his sister Norma also became noted professional musicians. Teagarden's father was an amateur brass band trumpeter and started young Jack on baritone horn; by age 10 he had switched to trombone. He first heard jazz music played by the Louisiana Five and decided to play in the new style. Wikipedia
