Teddy Edwards - Smooth Sailing - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Throughout the history of jazz, there has been a number of players who chose to remain in one locale to practice their art. Teddy Edwards is one of them. Though he chose to immerse himself in L.A.'s lucrative TV & radio scene, he also toured through the '60s &'70s with the likes of Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie, Earl Hines, Milt Jackson & others. With his roots still firmly planted in L.A., he brings his wealth of experience to tunes titled with women's names on this CD. These are not all slow, smoochy ballads - included are chop-busters, such as Charlie Parker's InchDonna LeeInch & the straight-ahead swing of Duke Pearson's InchJeannineInch.

Have a close encounter of the jazz kind w. tenor icons Teddy & Houston - this sax battle is more complimentary than confrontational, and their easy rapport is evident on these swinging tunes that are full of warmth & humor
