Eddie Costa, (August 14, 1930 - July 28, 1962), was an American jazz pianist and vibraphonist born in Atlas, Pennsylvania near Mount Carmel, PA in Northumberland County. In 1957’s Costa led a quintet that included Phil Woods, Art Farmer, Teddy Kotick, and Paul Motian; their repertoire featured interpretations of “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was” and Dave Brubeck’s then still fairly new “In Your Own Sweet Way,” the latter of which focused on Costa’s vibes and Farmer’s muted trumpet, with Woods switching to the piano.
