I'd guess the chances of it getting reissued are pretty slim at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 It was, in 1997, as an OJC CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Duckworth Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Hard to believe that this came out 31 plus years ago...also that Tom Waits guests on two songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I knew that, I always thought it was strange that Waits' name popped up when I was searching for Edwards albums. Then I had my D'OH! moment. I repeatedly forget that Sunset Eyes and Teddy's Ready were recorded on consecutive days, August 16th (Pacific Jazz) and August 17th (Contemporary), 1960. Probably my two favorite Edwards albums.

HutchFan Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Don't overlook this one: It's one of Edwards' best, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 The appreciations of others may differ but disc 4 (1959 quartet) and, in particular, discs 5 and 6 (1966 orchestra and tentet) of the Joe Castro box set released on Sunnyside have quickly become some of my favorite Teddy Edwards.

mhatta Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) I didn't like Teddy Edwards much because he seemed somewhat frail, but I found the two Prestige records are excellent. Thanks for letting me know! These are eye openers. Also, I didn't like his composition Sunset Eyes much either, but I think The version on The Inimitable is great thanks to Duke Jordan.

What the hell would you possibly mean by "frail"? Teddy was one of the toughest tenor sounds right from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
