Did Eddie McFadden ever make any LPs as a leader?

As a result of that lameass NYPL record sale a few weeks ago (well, I did score an Ellie Seigmeister Flute and Clarinet Concerto LP for a buck), I wound up getting a NYPL card, and scored a slew of Jazz Icon DVDs that are incredible.

Among them was Jimmy Smith Live in '69 with Eddie McFadden on guitar.

Sadly, I learned that EM passed in 2002 at age 65 in Philly.

Did he ever get a chance to make any records as a leader?

I don't think he did sgcim, but Eddie is one of my fav Jimmy Smith guitarists. He was a much better fit than Thornel Schwartz and more inventive than Quentin Warren as far as "regular" JOS guitarists.
