Jazz / Hard Bop
Teddy Edwards - Sax (Tenor)
Chip Jackson - Bass
Chip White - Drums
Eddie Allen - Trumpet
Ronnie Mathews - Piano
Throughout jazz there have been a number of players who chose to remain in one locale to practice their art. Harry Connick Sr., for example, has never left New Orleans and is arguably a finer musician than his more famous son. Rusty Bryant is another (see HCD 7074). Though Teddy Edwards chose to immerse himself in L.A.'s lucrative TV and radio scene he also toured through the '60s and '70s with the likes of Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie, Earl Hines, Milt Jackson, Ray Brown and a host of other jazz notables. This earned him an international reputation and allowed him to keep his roots in his hometown. Today Teddy is the Senior Statesman on the tenor sax, and with this record, brings his wealth of experience to tunes titled with women's names. These are not all slow, smoochy ballads - included here are chop-busters, such as Charlie Parker's "Donna Lee" and the straight-ahead swing of Duke Pearson's "Jeannine".

For this project, veteran tenor saxophonist Teddy Edwards performs ten songs named after women's names, including his own "Saskia." Despite the potentially gimmicky nature of the repertoire, the music is conventional hard bop, played with spirit by Edwards, pianist Ronnie Mathews, bassist Chip Jackson, drummer Chip White, and (on four of the ten numbers) trumpeter Eddie Allen. Due to the fine solos of Edwards, Mathews, and Allen and the close attention paid to tempo and mood variations between songs, this is an excellent outing, well worth exploring by straight-ahead jazz collectors. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Teddy Edwards was, with Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray, the top young tenor of the late '40s. Unlike the other two, he chose to remain in Los Angeles and has been underrated through the years but remained in prime form well into his 70s. Early on, he toured with Ernie Fields' Orchestra, moving to L.A. in 1945 to work with Roy Milton as an altoist. Edwards switched to tenor when he joined Howard McGhee's band and was featured in many jam sessions during the era, recording "The Duel" with Dexter Gordon in 1947. A natural-born leader, Edwards did work briefly with Max Roach & Clifford Brown (1954), Benny Carter (1955), and Benny Goodman (1964), and he recorded in the 1960s with Milt Jackson and Jimmy Smith. But it was his own records -- for Onyx (1947-1948), Pacific Jazz, Contemporary (1960-1962), Prestige, Xanadu, Muse, SteepleChase, Timeless, and Antilles -- that best displayed his playing and writing; "Sunset Eyes" is Edwards' best-known original.
