is an album by the saxophonist Teddy Edwards which was recorded in 1967 and released on the Prestige label.
[1] AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars stating, "Although the music (mostly Edwards originals) is essentially hard bop, there are hints of the avant-garde here and there in the harmonies and solos... Edwards would not have an opportunity to record as a leader for another seven years, but the largely straight-ahead music has dated pretty well.
"[2] The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "some of the material points in the direction of Coltrane and even Ornette Coleman; though never remotely avant-garde, Teddy knew what was happening on the scene... he was able to combine his usual easy, blues-inflected swing with something harder and darker.
"[3] Writing for DownBeat, Dan Morgenstern commented: "The session was perfectly cast, and it adds up to a generous helping of well-crafted, well-played contemporary jazz without convenient labels... All told, a feather in Edwards'...
