With this exquisite drawing, Richard Wyatt revisits the subject of jazz that he immortialized in his famous 1990 mural for Capitol Records, Hollywood Jazz 1945-1972, on 1750 North Vine Street. Although not one of the subjects of that mural, Teddy Edwards was also a very influential West Coast jazz musician--famous for his classic 1947 recording with Dexter Gordon, The Duel.
