What a band les had saw him and bob hope in viet nam 1966 sat in on drums three charts what a feeling when you play behind a big band you got to drive and not hold back late great Shelly manne said when he played in the Stan Kenton it was the same as a lumber jack enough said
The Ted Nash here was mostly a Hollywood session saxophone man who retired in the 80s. His brother, Dick Nash, is still with us at 93 and is known as Henry Mancini’s favorite trombone player. Both brothers played for Hank on numerous albums. If you are thinking of a Ted Nash that’s 60 yrs old and plays on Jazz at Lincoln Center with Wynton, that is Dick’s son who named the lad after his brother. Wouldn’t you know it, he took up the sax too!

Amazing. Always thought of him as pop ('Sentimental Journey' etc). This is close to bop, and in 1946 too. Thanks for posting.
