This month, we will be screening The Legend of Teddy Edwards: \u201cTeddy Edwards, a pioneering tenor saxophonist, master balladeer, superb improvisor and accomplished composer\/arranger, is best known for his outstanding collaborations with Charlie Parker, Benny Goodman, Dexter Gordon, Clifford Brown and Tom Waits. On this DVD, Edwards showcases his impassioned music while recalling his wildly emotional six-decade-plus career, full of innovative discoveries, high times and devastating setbacks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dave Kish has hosted the MVY radio show \u201cSunday Morning & All That Jazz\u201d since the spring of 1997, and has always been a champion of all types of jazz, old and new, from all parts of the globe. Always willing to take chances, Dave has greatly expanded his range to include extensive features on jazz vocalists, Bossa Nova, African funk, vintage soul, Latin and European jazz, among many other types of improvised music. A summer resident of the Vineyard since the late sixties, Dave settled here in 1989. He wrote music reviews for the Martha\u2019s Vineyard Times for many years, and hosted a weekly Sunday afternoon jazz jam at the Wintertide Coffeehouse in Vineyard Haven, acting as an emcee for many talented musicians, and spinning many gems from his collection in between sets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
