description Teddy Edwards Overview

Teddy Edwards was an American jazz tenor saxophonist who lived from 1924 to 2003 and spent much of his career in Los Angeles. Emerging during bebop's formative years, he recorded an influential 1947 session with trumpeter Howard McGhee and later worked with musicians including Max Roach, Clifford Brown, Benny Carter, and Tom Waits.
