Ted Piltzecker has performed at jazz and percussion festivals, and in clubs around the globe. Writer Nat Hentoff praised his CD Unicycle Man as "a lyrical, thoughtful, relaxing meeting of mutually appreciative improvisers whose time is timeless." All About Jazz says his solo vibes CD, Standing Alone, “fills the 43-minutes with expressive grace, maintaining interest throughout."  Influential in both the percussion and jazz worlds, Ted is a Professor of Composition at Purchase SUNY and guest artist faculty and vibes specialist at the Hartt School. He toured extensively with the George Shearing Quintet, directed the jazz program at the Aspen Music Festival, and regularly performs with outstanding jazz artists in a wide variety of genres.
