Eddie....'s extensive BIOGRAPHY, PHOTOS, SOUND CLIPS and more. =======================
PASTOR EDDIE EDWARDS is a multi-instrumentalist / composer / playwright / producer and sound engineer who has served as a musical bridge between conventional jazz, punk rock, free jazz, gospel, progressive art music and alternative sound. Edwards attended the prestigious California College of Arts in the San Francisco Bay Area as an up-and-coming sculptor, later discovering his life-long passion and pursuit as a cutting-edge sound sculptor and musicologist. In the recording studio, he has successfully navigated full-circle, from artist, to master engineer, to producer with a remarkable prophetic ability to hear the distant waves of the next new sound, identify emerging artists, and powerfully present undiscovered talent. He has served as an assistant and master engineer on many projects and recording venues, such as Fantasy Records, the Japan America Theatre, FM Records, and Pulpit Recording Studios. A virtuoso performer in his own right, Edwards has dazzled audiences and critics with his vanguard sound, instrumental versatility, extensive music knowledge, and his ability to masterfully play over 40 instruments. Twenty-five years ago Eddie, (famed percussionist) Zam, and the alternative band Panic, thrashed out and pioneered an experimental underground sound, a free-style form of outside jazz/punk/rock that set the foundation for what is now referred to as drum-N-bass by todays teen and young adult cultures. |

JAZZ HISTORY: ERIC ALLEN DOLPHY alto sax, bass clarinet, clarinet, composer. b. Los Angeles, CA, 06-28-1928 d. Berlin, Germany, 06-29-1964, Berlin, Germany. Played with the Chico Hamilton quintet, and Charles Mingus. In 1961, Dolphy and Booker Little led their own quartet. In the same year, he became associated with John Coltrane. In '62, he formed his own group with Freddie Hubbard, recorded with Ornette Coleman and joined Orchestra U.S.A. In 1964, Dolphy recorded with his own group for Prestige, Blue Note and FM. MC COY ALFRED TYNER pianist, composer b. Philadelphia, PA, 12-11-1938 Tyner's mother played piano and encouraged his early interest in music. Around 1953, he has his own jazz combo of teenagers. His early influences were Bud and Richie Powell. Mc Coy went on to work with local groups, including Calvin Massey's band, in Philadelphia, where they were introduced to John Coltrane and worked a week with him. In 1959, he joined Coltrane and stayed with him until December of 1965. During those years with Coltrane, Tyner developed into one of the most important young pianists in the 60's. In Coltrane's own words, "First there is McCoy's melodic inventiveness . . . the clarity of his ideas . . . he also gets a very personal sound from his instrument; and because of the clusters he uses and the way he voices them, that sound is brighter than what would normally be expectyed from most of the chord patterns he plays. In addition, McCoy has an exceptionally well developed sense of form, both as a soloist and an accompanist. Invariably in our group, he will take a tune and build his own structure for it. He is always, in short, looking for the most personal way of expressing himself. He doesn't fall into conventional grooves. And finally, McCoy has taste. He can take anything, no matter how weird, and make it sound beautiful.
