Ted Brown Trio
August 15, 2018
NY Public Library Riverdale Branch | Free
Tenor Saxophonist, composer and bandleader Ted Brown has brought a smooth, self-assured musical voice to the jazz scene since first seeing Charlie Parker and Lester Young on 52nd St in the late 1940s. He studied under the great Lennie Tristano for several years, that led to long partnerships with musicians like Warne Marsh and Lee Konitz. His west coast group with Marsh yielded three classic albums, including the first under Brown's name, "Freewheeling " with Art Pepper on alto.
Ted maintained his tone and his ties to the jazz world, especially after reuniting with Konitz in the mid 1970s. Since that time he has released several albums as a leader; toured in Europe and Japan; and worked with many rhythm section greats including Ben Riley, John Abercrombie and Matt Wilson.
This concert features a special trio with his son Jeff Brown on drums and Ugonna Okegwo on bass.
