Teddy Edwards
Sunset Eyes
Pacific Jazz / Blue Note 14 – Tone Poet Series on 180g vinyl

A little-known tenor saxophonist deserving of much wider recognition,Teddy Edwardsmade two Pacific Jazz albums including 1960s impressiveSunset Eyes, a showcase for his rich, powerful, full-blooded sound that dispels any preconceived notions that all West Coast jazz musicians maintained a uniformly placid musical demeanor. The album was drawn from three recording sessions with three different quartets including Edwards working band at the time with pianistJoe Castro, bassistLeroy Vinnegar, and drummerBilly Higgins. Also featured are pianistsRonnie BallandAmos Trice, bassistBen Tucker, and drummerAl Levitt. Highlights of the set include Edwards penned originals like the opener Tempo de Blues, Takin Off, and the title track, Vinnegars Vintage 57, and the stunning ballad performance of I Hear A Rhapsody.

Blue Note Tone Poet Series
The Blue Note Tone Poet Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters. Was brought Joe Harley (from Music Matters), a.k.a. the Tone Poet, on board to curate and supervise a series of reissues from the Blue Note family of labels.

Extreme attention to detail has been paid to getting these right in every conceivable way, from the jacket graphics and printing quality to superior LP mastering (direct from the master tapes) by Kevin Gray to superb 180 gm audiophile LP pressings by Record Technology Inc. Every aspect of these Blue Note/Tone Poet releases is done to the highest possible standard. It means that you will never find a superior version. This is IT.

Blue Note Records Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series is produced by Joe Harley and features all-analog, mastered-from-the-original-master-tape 180g audiophile vinyl reissues in deluxe gatefold packaging. Mastering is by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) and vinyl is manufactured at Record Technology Incorporated (RTI).
