Saxophonist Joe Temperley has died

12 May 2016 Last updated at 11:28 BST

Scottish saxophonist Joe Temperley has died at the age of 86 in New York.
The Fife man played with some of the finest jazz musicians including The Duke Ellington Band, Woody Herman and the Humphrey Lyttleton Band.

One of the most respected jazz saxophonists in the world, Temperley, from Lochgelly in Fife, passed away on Wednesday.

He left Scotland for London in the 1950s and played in Humphrey Lyttelton's band before moving to North America in the 1960s.

Temperley, who started playing the sax when he was 14, took the baritone chair in the Duke Ellington Orchestra.

In recent years he had been a long-serving member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, under Wynton Marsalis.


He visited the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival in 2009.

Ted Nash's Project Student Horn

Grammy-nominated artist Ted Nash enjoys an extraordinary career as a performer, conductor, composer, arranger, and educator. Born in Los Angeles, multi-instrumentalist Nash's interest in music started at an early age. He was exposed to music and encouraged by his father, trombonist Dick Nash, and uncle, reedman Ted Nash—both well-known studio and jazz musicians

PROJECT STUDENT HORN

“I am pleased to tell you about a new initiative, Project Student Horn, which aims to provide high quality, professional saxophones at an extremely low cost to students who may otherwise not be able to afford them.

Through Project Student Horn, I have discovered vintage horns that have great sound, solid mechanics, and good intonation. These horns are fully repaired, with new mouthpieces from Beechler, neck straps, ligatures and caps. The horn will also come with a video of me playing and talking about the specific horn, along with some practice tips.

This year, I am working exclusively with alto saxophones and in very limited availability. Interested students must be able to demonstrate need for this highly discounted program and must have the recommendation of their middle or high school band directors, who can speak to the student's need."

For more information and to apply for a horn, please e-mail me: trnash@aol.com.

Ted Nash On Piano Jazz.....

Ted Nash On Piano Jazz

With Guest Host Christian McBride

Ted Nash plays the music of Henry Mancini with bassist Christian McBride and pianist Frank Kimbrough on this Piano Jazz episode.

by Grant Jackson
For the Los Angeles-born Ted Nash, studying jazz was a bit like going into the family business; both his father, trombonist Dick Nash, and his uncle, a reedman also named Ted Nash, played during the big-band era before settling down as session players in the film and television industry. The young Ted Nash was immersed in the world of the professional musician, visiting studio sessions where horns were in demand for scoring The Mod Squad and Henry Mancini's The Pink Panther.

Nash studied clarinet before adding the saxophone to his arsenal, and in 1978 he left behind a budding career in California for the New York scene — a rude awakening for even a young yet experienced player like Nash. Eventually, he settled in with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, an organization that completes the circle, with Nash working in a section that hearkens back to his family roots in the big bands. On this Piano Jazz session, Nash and guest host Christian McBride (bass), along with Frank Kimbrough at the keys, stretch out on a set of Henry Mancini tunes and a few Nash originals from his album Portrait in Seven Shades.

Ted Nash - The Mancini Project

Ted Nash - Alto Sax,
Frank Kimbrough - Piano,
Jay Anderson - Bass,
Matt Wilson - Drums.
"Nash is a first-class saxophonist." - Village Voice
"Ultimately, that's the triumph of Nash's music: not that it bridges the gap but that it occupies its own space." - Jazz Times

The Mancini Project features Ted Nash's interpretations of film composer Henry Mancini's work. The project is deeply personal to Ted as his father played on most of the Mancini soundtracks and Ted grew up listening to this music. The overall sound is seductive and smooth. It reminds me most in style of 60's bossa nova (Stan Getz) and 50's jazz. Also is has a bit of a lounge feel to it. The album is played by a quartet - Rufus Reid bass, Frank Kimbrough piano, Matt Wilson drums, and Nash on tenor sax, alto sax, soprano sax, alto flute and piccolo. The spacing on the album is great. Each musician's part can be clearly heard and the sound is never cluttered. More so than any other of Nash's album, this quartet setting really showcases Nash's playing on a variety of instruments as he is the primary soloist throughout the album. On his other albums there always seems to be so much going on that you don't always get a great look at Nash's playing. Here the sound is very clean and crisp. You really get to see all sides of Nash's playing .- Amazon.com
