Mel Bay presentsGetting into Jazz Mandolin
Ted Eschliman graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1980 with a Bachelor of Music in Education as a trombone major, where he also taught undergraduate music theory. A part time arranger, he discovered his love for the studio in the 90s, writing and producing three solo albums, as well as dabbling at copywriting and freelance studio singing for a local jingle company. Despite his full time commitments as part owner and marketing director of a local retail music store chain, Dietze Music, he continued to perform jingles and write instrumental beds for local radio stations, as well as co-write music for area Contemporary Christian artists in his spare time.    A self-professed "hack" multi-instrumentalist, Eschliman developed his jazz chops as keyboardist/manager of a jazz quartet.
