Teddy Edwards-Howard McGhee • Together Again!

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Tenor saxophonist Teddy Edwards and trumpeter Howard McGhee had played together regularly from 1945 to 1947. For their recorded reunion, they are assisted by the masterful pianist Phineas Newborn, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen. Edwards, McGhee, and Brown contributed one new song apiece which alternates with a trio of standards ("You Stepped Out of a Dream," "Misty" and Charlie Parker's "Perhaps"). The trumpeter was having a short-lived comeback at the time and he had largely regained his earlier form. Edwards sounds as strong as ever and Newborn was an up-and-coming talent. Their collaboration for this boppish date is generally quite memorable.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El saxofonista tenor Teddy Edwards y el trompetista Howard McGhee habían tocado juntos regularmente de 1945 a 1947. Para su reunión grabada, cuentan con la ayuda del magistral pianista Phineas Newborn, el bajista Ray Brown y el batería Ed Thigpen. Edwards, McGhee y Brown contribuyeron con una canción nueva cada uno que se alterna con un trío de estándares ("You Stepped Out of a Dream", "Misty" y "Perhaps" de Charlie Parker). El trompetista estaba teniendo un regreso de corta duración en ese momento y había recuperado en gran medida su forma anterior. Edwards sonaba tan fuerte como siempre y Newborn era un talento prometedor. Su colaboración para esta cita boppish es, en general, bastante memorable.
