... also that Tom Waits guests on two songs.

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.

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.
