“Ted Chubb is a very talented trumpeter, composer, improviser, bandleader and educator. Ted is the total package, and most of all, he is just one great guy.” – Christian McBride
“Chubb led his agile sextet through infectious modern-bop originals, his warm, sinewy tone superbly unraveled singable melodies.” – John Murph, Down Beat Magazine October 2017
“Ted’s new release, Gratified Never Satisfied (Unit Records) shows his warmth and power on originals and classics worth his new view.” – Gary Walker, WBGO Progam Director
“I am in a phase in my life where I am trying to connect with and develop relationships through the music around the globe, anywhere there are people that can benefit from the positive and universal power of the music. In a time where so much of the world is trying to divide us from one another, I believe this is of the highest importance.” (Ted Chubb)
Born into a musical family, over the past two decades Ted Chubb has developed into both a deeply expressive trumpeter and an inventive composer. He has served as both a bandleader and sideman to the likes of jazz greats Winard Harper, Christian McBride Big Band, Wallace Roney Orchestra, and Cecil Brooks III, and has worked as a jazz educator and music director/administrator. On such recordings as 2009’s New Tricks and the brand–new album Gratified Never Satisfied, Chubb has demonstrated an innate ability to adapt his knowledge, talent and worldliness to every aspect of his art and work. “Ted Chubb is a very talented trumpeter, composer, improviser, bandleader and educator. Ted is the total package, and most of all, he is just one great guy.” (Christian McBride)
