The Jazz Show Episode September 6, 2021

Teddy Edwards and :Les McCann Ltd. "It's About Time".

9:00pm - 12:26am

Teddy Edwards was a major star of the tenor saxophone. A long time resident of L.A. and not New York lessened his reputation but not his musicality. Teddy possessed a deep smoky tone on the horn and had a unique way of phrasing. By the time of this recording Teddy had fully matured as a stylist and was instantly recognizable by only hearing a few notes. Teddy was also a very consistent performer and never gave less than his all. He recorded a lot during the late 50s and early 60s for both Pacific Jazz and Contemporary Records and they are all worth your time. One of Teddy's best get togethers was this album called "It's About Time" which brings Teddy in front of the wonderful Les McCann Trio better known as "Les McCann Ltd". This was a very tight little trio and was a perfect fit with Teddy's soulful tenor out front. The trio was Les McCann on piano, Leroy Vinnegar on bass and the wonderful Ron Jefferson on drums. "It's About Time" is a warm and soulful date to mark the end of Summer. Tonight's Jazz Feature.
