Gypsy Jazz Club and the duo Ted and Pablo, a partnership with harmonica player Pablo Fagundes.

Ted has written and published several books about Brazilian choro, forrĂł, and frevo. He is a former Adjunct Professor of Music at Whittier College and is currently a music teacher at the Silverlake Conservatory of Music.
Multi-instrumentalist, All-Ireland fiddle finalist and Ropeadope Recording artist Andrew “Finn the fiddler” Magill has watched his career surge ever since the 2016 release of his 2-disc concept album Roots (debuting at #46 on the Folk DJ charts) & Branches. Magill has carved out a name for himself in Irish, American and Brazilian music and tours the U.S., France, and Brazil regularly with many acts from Dave Curley to his own Brazilian jazz trio. On April 6th he will release Canta Violino! on Ropeadope Records which writes Airto Moreira of Miles Davis & Chick Corea fame: "Finn Magill displays a love and authenticity that can fool you into thinking he is from Brazil. His style is playful and light, yet soulful and passionate. Congratulations!”

His musical “Sambra” (2015) with Diogo Nogueira was the first Musical ever to be presented on stage at Rio de Janeiro’s New Year’s Eve party on Copacabana beach with over 2 million people and is now competing for a Cannes Golden Lion.
