16 апреля 2012 г. в возрасте 84 лет, в своем доме на Riverhead (Нью-Йорк) умер знаменитый джазовый музыкант, вибрафонист (а также пианист и ударник) и продюсер Тедди Чарльз (Teddy Charles).
Теодор Чарльз Коэн родился 13 апреля 1928 года в Chicopee Falls (штат Массачусетс, США). Он учился в Джульярдской школе музыки на перкуссиониста. Позднее он начал записываться как вибрафонист, пианист, писал музыку, а также работал как продюсер, сменив свою фамилию с Коэн на Чальз. Он играл со многими великими музыкантами джаза в середине 20-го века. Впервые он Тедди Чарльз получил известность, работая с Коулмененом Хокинсом, затем работал с Майлзом Дэвисом, Бенни Гудменом, Чарльзом Мингусом, Чарли Паркером, Арти Шоу и Макс Роучем. Композиторский талант Тедди Чарльза выделяли Гил Эванс и Чарльз Мингус. В 1956 году Тедди Чарльз записал пластинку под названием "The Teddy Charles Tentet" (послушать альбом online можно на music.yandex.ru) в записи которой учавствовали такие музыканты как Джордж Расселл, Джей Ар Монтроуз, Арт Фармер, Джиджи Грайс, Тедди Котик, Чарльз Мингус, Джимми Раней и Мэл Уолдрен. В качестве лидера Тедди Чарльз записал более 20 альбомов. Он продюсировал некоторые альбомы Джон Колтрейна, Доналда Бёрда, Кенни Баррелла, Мэла Уолдрона и Зута Симса, одновременно и почти во всех случаях являлся их аккомпаниатором.
В 1960 году Чарльз ушел с широкой музыкальной сцены, чтобы стать капитаном судна в Карибском море. Он поселился в Антигуа и когда он вернулся в музыку в 1980-х годах, перешел на фортепиано. Он вернулся в Нью-Йорк в том же десятилетии, но не стал музыкально активным.
Тедди Чарльз умер от сердечной недостаточности спустя три дня после того как отпраздновал свое 84-летие.
