Ted Brown's Feather Bed

Ted Brown is a fantastic tenor player and a student of Lennie Tristano who got far less recognition than even Warne Marsh. He's still alive a well and still playing in NYC. Here is a two horn transcription of his tune Feather Bed, which was written over the changes of You'd be so Nice to Come Home to. Thanks to Dan Gaynor for this one.

Why "Ted Brown was.."? He fairly still is and we just did a Lester Young's Birthday Tribute at Smallz Jazz Club, NYC.
Ted is active and plays great, but does not do gigs very often. He also sat in with Lee Konitz last year at Dizzy's Club Coca-cola in NYC.
