Performer
I am the founder and leader of The Mulligan Mosaics Big Band as well as
a member of Jeru, Marco Polo, the Michael Ingersoll Band, and Orbert
Davis's Chicago Jazz Philharmonic. I've released three recordings as a
leader and am on at least a dozen recordings by other Chicago artists.
My most recent release is Ted Hogarth and the Mulligan Mosaics Big
Band Live at the Jazz Showcase which features arrangements recorded
by Gerry Mulligan's Concert Jazz Band as well as arrangements by
members of MMBB.
Other recordings as a leader are Misconception, which was released
under the Italian recording label Wide Sound, is a collection of original
compositions with my sextet THC. StepsTaken was inspired by a trip to
Cuba in 2000 where I studied at Centro Nacional de Escuelas de Arte with
Orlando Sanchez and other master Cuban musicians.
My passion is playing the baritone saxophone, clarinet, and bass clarinet.
My inspiration on these instruments is drawn primarily from Harry Carney,
Gerry Mulligan, Jimmy Hamilton, and Barney Bigard. The range and
sonority of the baritone and bass clarinet are very appealing to my ear and
I strive to achieve a full, rich, and dark tone.
Composer
I received a Master's Degree in Jazz Composition with Distinction from
DePaul University in 2005. My primary instructor was my good friend Tom
Matta. Tom is a fantastic writer as well as a wonderful bass trombonist.
I've composed and arranged for small groups and big bands on both
original compositions, such as 'Children's Song,' and standards, such as
'When Lights Are Low.'
I was recently commissioned to write a big band arrangement featuring
tenor saxophonist and educator Mark Colby.
I also write big band arrangements for middle school and high school
groups. With more than a dozen years of experience as an educator, I
write compositions and arrangements for younger musicians that are
challenging, musically interesting, and often draw from the classic
American songbook—characteristics that are often lacking in
commercially available charts.
Contact me about commissions.
Educator
I have a private teaching studio where I instruct middle school and high
school woodwind musicians, and teach jazz theory and improvisation.
I enjoy helping young musicians discover the joy of music and all the
rewards that are the result of hard work and discipline. I'm proud to say
that many of my students have won local and state awards and have gone
on to successful college careers with scholarships.
I also teach master classes and clinics for middle school, high school,
and college students.
As an adult with Attention Deficit Disorder, who has learned how to
manage it successfully to professionally thrive, I am eager to help young
students who face similar challenges. I have witnessed the growth and
maturity among students who face similar challenges and I'm eager to
share what I've learned with others. This is an area of music education I
feel passionately about and you'll find future articles and information
posted here on the issue.
