Тедди Уилсон (24.11.1912 — 31.07.1986) — выдающийся пианист, аранжировщик, один из классиков джазового фортепиано. Его игру отличала аккуратность, элегантность и блестящий свинг.
ТЭДДИ УИЛСОН - КРАТКАЯ БИОГРАФИЯ И ИЗБРАННАЯ ДИСКОГРАФИЯ
Theodore Shaw ‘Teddy’ Wilson
24.11.1912, Остин, шт. Техас —
31.07.1986, Нью-Бритен, шт. КоннектикутПианист, аранжировщик, один из классиков джазового фортепиано.
В детстве играл на скрипке, в колледже занимался фортепиано и теорией музыки.
Влюбился в джаз, прослушав пластинки Бикса Байдербека и Кинга Оливера.
Приехав в 1929 году в Чикаго, начал играть с местными ансамблями, а в 1931 году выступал в дуэте с Артом Тэйтумом.
В то же время вошел в оркестр Луи Армстронга и писал аранжировки для Эрла Хайнза.
Выступал в Нью-Йорке с Бенни Картером и Уилли Брайантом.
Еще в Чикаго его игру услышал продюсер Джон Хэммонд, отметивший: "Мне сразу стало ясно, что Тэдди Уилсон абсолютно неподражаем.
Он играет аккуратно и элегантно, никогда не бывает назойлив, и в то же время у него блестящий свинг и отличная техника левой руки".
По рекомендации Хэммонда в 1935 году Уилсон вошел в трио Бенни Гудмена и стал первым цветным музыкантом в белом коллективе.
До 1939 года играл во всех ансамблях Гудмена и добился национальной известности.
В последующие годы нередко вновь объединялся со знаменитым кларнетистом (в 1956 году снимался в кинофильме "История Бенни Гудмена", в 1962 гастролировал с его биг-бэндом в СССР, в 80-е годы — в Японии).
В 1939–40 организовал собственный оркестр, в который в разное время входили Док Читэм, Шорти Бэйкер, Бен Уэбстер и другие.
К сожалению, бэнд не добился коммерческого успеха и был распущен, после чего Уилсон собирал небольшие группы (чаще секстет), сотрудничая с Бенни Мортоном, Эдмондом Холлом, Коулменом Хокинсом, Баком Клэйтоном, Томми Дорси, Диззи Гиллеспи, Лестером Янгом.
В 1937–42 был музыкальным руководителем ансамбля, сопровождавшего Билли Холидэй. В 50–70-е годы работал преимущественно в студиях, время от времени собирая трио для выступлений.Записи:с малыми группами Бенни ГудменаКроме того:Teddy Wilson And His Piano (1950)
