A little-known tenor saxophonist deserving of much wider recognition,Ā Teddy EdwardsĀ made two Pacific Jazz albums including 1960ās impressiveĀ Sunset Eyes, a showcase for his rich, powerful, full-blooded sound that dispels any preconceived notions that all West Coast jazz musicians maintained a uniformly placid musical demeanor. The album was drawn from three recording sessions with three different quartets including Edwardsā working band at the time with pianistĀ Joe Castro, bassistĀ Leroy Vinnegar, and drummerĀ Billy Higgins. Also featured are pianistsĀ Ronnie BallĀ andĀ Amos Trice, bassistĀ Ben Tucker, and drummerĀ Al Levitt. Highlights of the set include Edwards penned originals like the opener āTempo de Blues,ā āTakinā Off,ā and the title track, Vinnegarās āVintage ā57,ā and the stunning ballad performance of āI Hear A Rhapsody.ā
