Andy's note:
Another one off tape and apart from some tape hiss and some limitations in the recording process it's a worthwhile listen.I will certainly be checking out other recordings from this quartet.

Review:
Teddy Edwards has long been one of the most underrated of the bop tenors, due in large part to his decision to settle in Los Angeles. Edwards is in typically swinging form on this quartet date with either Phineas Newborn, Jr., or Danny Horton on piano, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Milt Turner. The tenor contributed four originals and also performs the obscure "A Little Later" and four standards with warmth and creativity within the hard bop genre.
