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.

Edwards ha sido durante mucho tiempo uno de los tenores de bop más
infravalorados, debido en gran parte a su decisión de establecerse en
Los Ángeles. Edwards está en la forma típica de swing en esta fecha de
cuarteto con Phineas Newborn, Jr. o Danny Horton en el piano, el bajista
Leroy Vinnegar y el baterista Milt Turner. El tenor aportó cuatro
originales y también interpreta el oscuro "A Little Later" y cuatro
estándares con calidez y creatividad dentro del género hard bop.
