Ted Nash

Ted Nash was born into a musical family in Los Angeles, California. The Grammy Award-winning artist, Nash has enjoyed an extraordinary career as a performer, conductor, composer, arranger, and educator.

He is co-founder of the New York-based Jazz Composers Collective, an innovative musician-run nonprofit dedicated to presenting the original works of composers pushing the boundaries of their self-expression.

Presidential Suite: Eight Variations on Freedom , released in 2016, is Nash’s most significant work. In 2017, Nash was awarded a Grammy in the Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album category for Presidential Suite: Eight Variations on Freedom and a Grammy in the Best Instrumental Composition category for his work, “Spoken at Midnight.” The Washington Post says of Nash: “Neither a poster boy for the avant-garde nor a blinders-on traditionalist, Nash is simply his own man.”
