robviti Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) I was perusing the Vanguard website and came upon this listing: Mar 25 - Mar 30, TEDDY CHARLES QUINTET. Honestly, I didn't know the 75-year-old vibist was still alive! A look at Teddy's website offers this lineup: * Teddy Charles - Vibraphone * Chris Byars - Saxophone * John Mosca - Trombone * Ari Roland - Bass * Stefan Schatz - Drums P.S. It looks like Teddy is quite the mariner, and has been making a living as such: teddy-charles.com Edited February 9, 2008 by jazzshrink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
