Because he stayed in Los Angeles. The critical establishment is based in New York and doesn't consider too much outside of that area. Legends like Dexter Gordon, Eric Dolphy and Charles Mingus wouldn't be as well known if they stayed in LA.
That a swinging group Teddy is in fine form . Richard Boone Trombone and Doug Sides Drums Freddie Hill Trumpet , Sam Gilbert Bass and John Houston on 🎹 . Solid fine short set .
Saw him live in San Francisco at a short lived club called Milestones in the early eighties with Peter Washington on bass. Can’t remember the others. Teddy was great!!
