Biography
by Scott Yanow
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.

AND, LASTLY, PLEASE DO REMEMBER SOUND QUALITY IS AFFECTED BY WHAT THE VINYL IS PLAYED ON!

PLEASE VISIT MY EBAY STORE FOR OTHER RARE AND COLLECTABLE VINYL AT ebaystores.com/soulmanrecords

GRADING & POLICIES: All records are visually graded. Grading indicates state of vinyl (covers noted separately), If I've listened to an LP, note will be made about sound quality. The following is a general overview about grades, subject to any above notations: MINT indicates pristine vinyl without any marks on surface. MINT MINUS may contain a few very light surface marks from play or sleeve wear under light. If you are a real collector, you'll know that even a factory sealed LP will occasionally have some light sleeve or rub marks. Anything in the VG category would contain more than two surface marks and have some other visible signs of hole or ring wear. Rarely do I offer something in the "G" state. If I do, it's usually a rare LP and priced accordingly. Values are assigned according to market availability and rarity, not a price guide.

PAYMENT: PAYPAL is my only method for your payment. I like to ship your records out within 2-3 days of payment, so using PAYPAL gets the records to you ASAP and concludes the transaction. Contact me after the auction if your PAYPAL payment will be delayed so I know what's going on. Shipping charge applies to any number of LPs in the U.S. and one record foreign(two or more please contact me for correct air quote). If you purchase more than one record at a time, you can edit the EBAY or PAYPAL checkout page where the other discounts (-) or charges (+) signs are in the subtotal column to only pay for one shipping amount.
