- Ted Nash talks about his multi-dimensional career as a woodwind doubler and jazz artist in this interview, including work with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and Broadway shows. He demonstrates the process he goes through for developing his jazz improvisations and how he teaches his students. We also discuss his Grammy-Award winning album, "The Presidential Suite," his compositional approach, as well as his equipment choices for saxophones, clarinets & flutes.
FANTASTIC THANK YOU ! My family too are classical musicians, Mancini was a great friend of my Father, Studio musicians in New York and Los Angeles in the 1940s. I began as a musician age 5, then ballerina 41 years. NYCB etc very much the same, musician to dancer
My Grandfather was the first from Berlin, alot of jazz in our home
I’ve only recently discovered your interviews, starting with Lew Tebackin, and send sincere thanks. Zero show biz hype, glossy tone, or ego driven questions…just long form substance with so many greats!
Being a Alto player and a tenor sax player is very rare to have great sounds on both instruments. Thanks Ted Nash for the truth!!!!
Ted is a total Minsch!!! I would never have gotten to do anything in NYC without Ted's help.
A true friend of the friendless. Very rare cat. Wish everyone was like him.
Incredible interview, so much I personally appreciate and understand
Great interview. I got to chat briefly with Ted about his Vito alto when he visited Sydney and did a great side gig on a night off from the Lincoln Centre Big Band. Great player and a nice guy, too!
What a great sound he gets from that alto. Keep these interviews coming.
The Bill Evans film mentioned around 59:00 is "The Universal Mind of Bill Evans - Creative Process and Self-Teaching"

global + local, love that concept. Thanks so much!
This was FASCINATING. Thank you!
Really informative and inspirational. Hard to hear how much more there is to know and learn. Thank you!
Amazing really over the top Uber talented
James Moody played wonderful alto & tenor
What a beautiful soft alto tone he gets - very Desmond-esque. Do you know if he plays a small, medium or large bore Beechler?
Not sure but I suspect it's a large bore Beechler. No one else could play that setup and het the sound Ted does. He's a unique talent.
everyone is a unique talent.
Thanks for the knowledge and the video is Universal Mind of Bill Evans (1966 Documentary)
How about asking Ted if he would not have a band of his own?
I have that exact alto. Great horns that sell for nothing. Mine was $112 with a nice vandoren
mouthpiece.
What model Vito is that?
Shhhh.... Same. I've two (both 'Noblet' stencils) - model 38-ish, near identical horns (though the 'spare' really should get new pads and a general overhaul). Such beautiful pieces of brasswork. Now if only I could find a Beaugnier baritone (or two), I'd be in heaven.
Ted I agree. I feel different on alto than tenor. I am primarily a tenor player but m y sax students play alto.
I never realized there was a Ted Nash Jr and a Sr. Which one authored Ted Nash's Studies in High Harmonics?
Ted Nash, Sr. was the author of the book. He was Ted Nash, Jr.'s uncle.
@@Joffewoodwinds So great to know this. I just bought the book myself. Thanks for a great interview!
Ted Nash played Brothers go to Mother's
Tom Shaloo's cousin? brother?
cool
Great interview, but the whole "blown out clarinet" thing is a myth.
No, not a myth. Older clarinets actually do lose degrees of resonance, certainly out of wood which becomes increasingly dryer and changes which occur to the bore as a consequence.
It matters less to those who are primarily doublers, but is clearly evident to skillful and sensitive symphonic players.
It’s still possible to play on a “blown out” clarinet of course but is less satisfying to players in a class with Mclaine, Harold Wright, etc.
@@ronaldreuben3278 thanks for your comment it got me thinking. Why would Clt dry out when we continually expose it to moisture? Does oiling the bore dampen resonance? Is it like 'metal fatigue' where vibrations exhaust the integrity of the wood? I don't know anyone around here who has even thought about it. WHY do you think it happens? It is a thought provoking comment. We never stop learning. Thank you for that.
Not true. Blown out is quite real.
