Yes, this is legal. The fact is that TN is only a handful of states that allows what is referred to as a "1-party consent" regarding in-person communications (or telephone recordings). Accordingly, only one of the parties involved in the conversation needs to know that the recording is being made. So as long as the person recording the conversation is a party to it, such a recording would be legal.
