Teddy Edwards/Claude Tissendier

Saw this Teddy Edwards 'Three Tenors' album with the Claude Tissendier band release in the Paris stores today:

Tissendier is a saxophonist who has been playing for the past several years with the Claude Bolling big band. He also leads small combos and has recorded albums that featured his Saxomania group with Benny Carter, Phil Woods, Guy Lafitte among others.

Have not heard the Teddy Edwards Three Tenors CD yet. It was recorded in Paris in 2002.

I saw Tissendier in Paris about three years ago, in my last trip to Paris(*)

He played with his Quintet, featuring another saxophonist whose name I can´t remember. It was a very good concert, in that small, uncomfortable, but lovely Caveau de l´Huchette in the Latin Quarter (excuse me if the spelling is not accurate). Great blowing!

(*)Hope I´ll have more Paris dosis soon, I return there whenever I can.

I caught Teddy Edwards in a quartet at the Sunset in Paris on that 2002 tour. He was in tremendous shape, and played for a full hour and a half. I was astounded. That was one of the best concerts I have attended in recent years.

And who's the third tenor?

Sounds good, John! I'll put that disc on my list! What would I give to have heard and seen Edwards! Hell, I was born too late!

I think Claude Braud is the third tenor on that one. Just had a quick look at the album when I dropped by the store. Could not find details yet on the web about this release.

John L., I missed the Sunset appearance by Teddy Edwards in 2002. Bet he played 'Sunset Eyes' there.

Caught him at the La Villa club several years ago. He was magnificient! Obviously enjoyed playing in Paris. I heard a radio broadcast of another Paric concert appearance with Tom Waits.

Come to think of it, that Sunset concert must have been in 2001, if not 2000. At any rate, it was tremendous, and Teddy Edwards continued to play very strong until the end. So I am grabbing anything new from his later years right away.

He certainly did play "Sunset Eyes." He introduced it as "something that he wrote and played with Clifford Brown."

Thanks, brownie.

I LOVE those two tunes with Tom Waits on that "Mississippi Lad" (?) CD!

Wish I'd ever seen Teddy live!
