Dear Marek,
I have that one on a Good Time Jazz CD GTJCD-12063 and playing the session now for old times' sake.
Still good too.

So far as I can find the only other session linking Jack Teagarden and Leonard Feather is this one:

Contingent From The Esquire All American Jazz Band: 
Roy Eldridge (t) Jack Teagarden (tb,vcl) Barney Bigard (cl) Coleman Hawkins (ts) Frank Froeba (p) Terry Snyder (vib,dir) Dick Kissinger (b) unknown (vln) Jerry Marshall (announcer) Leonard Feather (mc) 
Broadcast WNEW "Saturday Swing Session", New York, January 15, 1944
    Mop mop    Phoenix LP8
    Tea for two    	(unissued)
    Sweet Lorraine         	-
    I surrender dear       	-
    Sweet Georgia Brown    Phoenix LP8
    The blues (jt vcl)    (unissued)
    Honeysuckle rose        	-

And Feather does not play.
Kind regards,
Bill.
