Description: Ted Nash Biography by Alex Henderson Roots: The Saga of an American Family A swing-oriented reedman and studio player who was active from the 1940s to the 1980s, Ted Nash is best known for his association with Les Brown and should not be confused with his nephew Ted Nash (who was named after his uncle and was born in L.A. in 1959). Both play the tenor saxophone, but while the younger Nash has embraced hard bop and post-bop and experimented with avant-garde jazz, the older one was very much a product of the swing era. The older Nash (whose brother is trombonist Dick Nash, father of the younger Ted Nash) starting getting busy in the 1940s, when he was a key soloist in Les Brown's big band and worked with both jazz and pop figures. While in Brown's employ, Nash played on such number one hits of the 1940s as "Sentimental Journey" and "My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Day" (both of which featured a young Doris Day). Nash backed quite a few noteworthy singers in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, including Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Billy Eckstine, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat "King" Cole, Nancy Wilson, and June Christy. Though Nash led or co-led some sessions on Starlite, Liberty, and Columbia in the 1950s, most of his income came from backing others. Nash worked with famous composer Henry Mancini in the 1960s, and in the 1970s he was employed by artists ranging from pop-folk vocalist Judy Collins to Quincy Jones (who used him for the celebrated Roots). Nash retired from music in the 1980s.

No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect. NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly. VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors. VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc. GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
