Bass – Addison Farmer; Drums – Charlie Smith, Ed Thigpen; Piano – Hank Jones; Tenor Saxophone – Zoot Sims; Trombone – Bob Brookmeyer; Trumpet – Art Farmer; Vibraphone – Teddy Charles.

Trained at the Juilliard School of Music, Teddy was able to reach effortlessly into modern classical music theory and deploy modal scales on solos—giving his compositions and recordings a fresh, hip sound. But what made Teddy's style special was that he was able to combine long-hair thinking with street-smart swing, and for Teddy, swing, ultimately, was everything.

There was no shortage of great vibraphonists in the late '40s. Lionel Hampton, Milt Jackson, Red Norvo, Terry Gibbs and Marjorie Hyams all could drop jaws. But Teddy represented something new—a sound that seemed to be visiting from the future. And as it turned out, that's exactly where it came from, since he would influence many young vibraphonists who followed.
