West Coast All Stars - Lover Man
  • 16 years ago
Conte Candoli, Carl Fontana, Teddy Edwards, Pete Jolly, Chuck Berghofer, Joe LaBarbera. Do these names ring any bells? If not, look elsewhere as these West Coast giants gathered for a magnificent concert at JazzOpen Stuttgart in 2001 to show the world what separates the men from the boys. Sadly not one of the elder members of this great outfit is any longer with us, reason enough to cherish these moments even more. This last number is Roger Ramirez's famous ballad "Lover Man" rendered here in an exemplary manner by Teddy Edwards, one of the greatest tenors ever who was 77 at the time.
