Ted Vieira, Jr.
Playing jazz for almost thirty years, Ted has performed in every venue imaginable ranging from small intimate clubs, to being a featured performer at international jazz festivals. He has performed in jazz clinics with artists such as saxophonist, Pete Christlieb (Steely Dan/The Tonight Show Band/Quincy Jones) and trumpet player, Bobby Shew (Tommy Dorsey Orchestra/Art Pepper/Buddy Rich).
Ted has recorded three instrumental jazz CDs, Vacation, Perfect Night and Quiet Places. Vacation and Perfect Night contain several chart-topping selections, featuring Ted’s rich jazz guitar playing over smooth Latin sounds and cool grooves. Quiet Places is a collection of solo jazz guitar arrangements of classic jazz standards, and is a favorite among traditional jazz fans.
Along with performing and recording, Ted is also a jazz educator and is the author of three books on guitar instruction. He has taught students at a college level and currently provides online guitar instruction from his website.
