Timeline
Teddy Hill (December 7, 1909 in Birmingham, Alabama – May 19, 1978 in Cleveland, Ohio) was an American big band leader and the manager of Minton's Playhouse, a seminal jazz club in Harlem.
He played a variety of instruments, including drums, clarinet, soprano and tenor saxophone.
After moving to New York City, Hill had early gigs with the Whitman Sisters, George Howe and Luis Russell's orchestra in the 1920s, later forming his own band in 1934, which found steady work over the NBC radio network.
Teddy Hill married Louise Welton in the 1920s.
Their daughter Gwendolyn Louise Hill was born in 1930.
Over time, Teddy and Louise separated and eventually divorced.
In the late 1930s, a singer named Bonnie Davis started working in his band.
They later had a daughter together, Beatrice Hill, who would become known under the stage name Melba Moore.
In 1935, he recorded a four-song session for ARC (Banner, Conqueror, Melotone, Oriole, Perfect, Romeo).

In 1936, he recorded two sessions (four tunes) for Vocalion.
1936: Teddy Hill And His Orchestra (Shad Collins, Bill Dillard, Frank Newton, Dicky Wells, Russell Procope, Howard Johnson, Teddy Hill, Kenneth Hollon - later replaced by Cecil Scott, Sam Allen, John Smith, Richard Fullbright, Bill Beason):
Hill's band played at the Savoy Ballroom regularly, and toured England and France in the summer of 1937.
He signed with Bluebird in 1937 and recorded 18 songs over three sessions.

Hill left Minton's in 1969, long after its musical significance had declined; he then became the manager of Baron's Lounge.
