Anyone have some info on this guy?

I remember hearing him play in the New York Brass Quintet (along with Robert Nagel) in the early '60s. I have no knowlege of his being in the NY Phil however.

Ted Weis was first trumpet at the NYC Ballet.
We were supposed to do a Music From Marlboro tour of Europe and Israel in 1965, but Teddy got sick and did not come to Marlboro.
Don Whittaker replaced him on the tour.
Teddy was one of the busiest players in NY.
Bob Nagel and Ted Weis are on some of the Stravinsky recordings of the 50s and 60s.
A super player.

Teddy Weis was also the first trumpet of NYC Opera for years and years. Along with Armando Ghitalla, Fred Mils and Vince Penzarella who also occupied the first spot for relatively short periods of time.

Ted Weis was also principal in the American Symphony. I heard him play many times. I think when he was in his prime, New York was still a Bb trumpet town. The recording of the Stravinsky Octet conducted by the composer is one of my favorites. The trumpets are Robert Nagel and Ted Weis. The name of the vinyl album was Igor Stravinsky 1961. It also included a wonderful rendition of L'Histoire with Charles Brady on cornet.

I'll second the Octet recording, just beautiful playing from the whole ensemble.

Another nice Ted Weis recording is his Soldier's Tale with Stokowski. I have it on a disc sharing space with two Virgil Thompson suites (Stokowski and the Symphony of the Air).
