Chicago's big band, the Teddy Phillips Orchestra, provided the swing sound that moved the masses at the Aragon, Trianon and Willowbrook Ballrooms in the 1940s and 1950s.
Teddy's orchestra was one of the best known and most popular in the region, and he continued to headline smaller acts in Las Vegas and Los Angeles in the 1960s and 1970s.
"He came at the end of the era", said Chicago jazz historian Charles Sengstock. "He was one of the last bands to be around." His big songs of the time, "Wishin'", "Don't Call Me Sweetheart Anymore" and "Melancholy Mood" - collaborations with fellow bandleader Al Trace and Teddy's wife, vocalist Colleen Lovett - hint at the big-band era's drift into nostalgia.

Nevertheless, Teddy helped it close with a bang, said Rudy Scaffidi, former lead trumpet player for Mr. Phillips. "Teddy was high-performance all the way," Scaffidi said. "He got everything to be exciting for the people, always."
Teddy Phillips was born in Oak Park, IL where he graduated from Oak Park-River Forest High School in the 1930s. It's during this time, when he began playing the saxophone and soon was labelled "the boy to watch". He formed his first orchestra and attracted the attention of ol' maestro, Ben Bernie. Bernie sponsored Teddy's musical education, gave him his first job with a name band, and willed Teddy his entire musical library. After graduation, Teddy joined the Bill Bardo Orchestra, and for the next decade played and toured with a string of locally and nationally known bands, including the Ben Bernie and Lawrence Welk Orchestras, as well as studio bands for CBS and NBC radio in Chicag
