He first played in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, but moved to the field of popular music in the late 1910s. He was a percussionist for a time with Julius Lenzberg's Riverside Theatre Orchestra, and his earliest recordings were xylophone solos with Lenzberg's band on Edison Records in 1919 and 1920.
He arrived in London in 1925, with Joseph C. Smith and his Orchestra. The next year he formed his own orchestra, playing at the Café de Paris. He went on to play in other nightclubs both in London and Paris including the Kit Kat Club, often performing as a solo act, or playing xylophone with a piano accompaniment. The custom-made Besson xylophone he played had a five-octave range, one more than the normal. In 1927, the UK division of Lee de Forest's Phonofilm made a short film of Brown playing this instrument. He also played a six-octave instrument. Read even more about Teddy Brown at Wikipedia
