Description
Born Theodore Charles Cohen on April 13th 1927 in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, jazz musician and composer Teddy Charles, whose instruments were the vibraphone, piano, and drums, studied at the Juilliard School of Music as a percussionist. Later he began to record and made personal appearances as Teddy Cohen, writing, arranging, and producing records. In 1951, he changed his last name to Charles.
This 4CD collection features Teddy Charles’s finest music, all recorded in the 1950s and featuring an impressive cast of backing musicians throughout. A near-perfect introduction to this giant of jazz, and perhaps the ultimate compilation of the great man’s music, everyone with even the vaguest enjoyment of this musical form will surely obsess over this multi-disc set.
