Before I got involved with folk music, in the early 1950's, I was already a fan of traditional jazz. One of my early favorites was the legendary trombonist, Jack Teagarden, who did a lovely version of Tishomingo Blues. The melody was well suited to the instrument, and to his fluid upper register playing. His very distinctive singing style almost mimicked the sound of his horn. A great treat, if you can find a recording of it.
