Theodore "Ted" Curson (born June 3, 1935, Philadelphia, Pennsylvaniacite book|last=Wynn|first=Ron|editor=Ron Wynn|others=M. Erlewine, V. Bogdanov|title=All Music Guide to Jazz|series=Allmusic|year=1994|publisher=Miller Freeman Books|location=San Francisco|isbn=0-87930-308-5|pages=p. 183] ) is a jazz trumpeter. He is perhaps best-known for recording and performing with Charles Mingus.

Curson became interested in playing trumpet after watching a newspaper salesman play a silver trumpet.cite web|url=http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=17756|title=Ted Curson: Atypical Ted|accessdate=2007-08-02|last=Allen|first=Clifford|date=2005-06-02|format=HTML|work=Allaboutjazz.com|publisher=All About Jazz] Curson's father, however, preferred that Ted become an alto saxophone player like Louis Jordan. Finally, when Ted was 10 years old, he received a "raggedy" trumpet.

Curson attended Granoff Musical Conservatory.Allmusicguide|id=11:kiftxqt5ldke~T1|label=Biography (web version)] At the suggestion of Miles Davis, he moved to New York in 1956. Curson performed and recorded with Cecil Taylor in the late 1950s and early 1960s.cite book|last=Cook|first=Richard|authorlink=Richard Cook|coauthors=Brian Morton|title=The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings|origyear=1992|edition=Eighth ed.|year=2006|publisher=Penguin|location=New York|isbn=0-141-02327-9|pages=p. 1267] His 1964 composition "Tears for Dolphy" has been used in the films "Teorema", "Last Date", and "The Brown Bunny".
