Description:
The Legend of Teddy Edwards is a loving tribute to a jazz musician's jazz musician. A great player who gigged with Max Roach, Clifford Brown, and Charlie Parker, among others, Teddy Edwards never quite achieved the success his talent deserved. He was always a stalwart of the Los Angeles jazz scene, and in this film we see the tenor saxophonist (now nearing 78 years old) reminiscing about his life and performing with his current working band. It's great to hear a musician play who still has it, and, by God, Teddy Edwards still has it. As proof, there's a 1962 performance from Jazz Scene USA. Like vintage wine from fine old kegs, he just gets better. --Kristian St. Clair
