- Chicago jazz style; in Port Washington, N.Y. Along with his

- Teschemacher, young McPartland would get into clubs to listen

- brawny lyricism, McPartland played in Ben Pollack's band in the
- 1920s, and later toured with Jack Teagarden's big band, worked
- the pits on Broadway and was a television actor.
