YOU CAN NOW PREVIEW AND PURCHASE TEDDY'S NEWEST ALBUM: OUTCRIES FROM A SEA OF RED AT HIS WEBSITE: WWW.TEDDYPRESBERG.COM
Music rooted in improvisation, inspired by the moment and the audience.
Often compared to the funky, soulful jazz musicians such as Grant Green and Eddie Harris, you also hear artists such as The White Stripes and Beck influence his sound. His music is fresh, ever evolving, and lays out his immediate and unfiltered response to our society and times.
He's not flashy with in-your-face chops. He can own one note, and with that note, you know exactly what he means. Teddy plays for the moment, never repeating himself – risking the falls to reach the musical highs.
Teddy’s debut solo album “Blueprint of Soul” consists of songs written in a stream of consciousness, tracks done in one take, and unforgettable improvisational grooves. The result is a funky Friday-night record that you'll put .., during, and after the party. To much acclaim, the album was named a Critic's Pick Top 10 Album of 2007 by All About Jazz. .
