Product Description
Neither an innovator nor an iconoclast, trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison is simply one of the bluesiest, hardest-swinging, and downright tastiest jazz musicians of the 20th century. A consummate sideman who worked steadily throughout his career (even getting gigs recording soundtracks in the '50s), Edison created music that always reflected his journeyman aesthetic and unerring sense of swing. Recorded in 1956, Sweets is one of the quintessential Edison albums showcasing the former Count Basie bandmember at the height of his abilities with a stellar ensemble of other Basie-ites, including tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, guitarist Barney Kessel, pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist Joe Mondragon, and drummer Alvin Stoller. ...See Full Description

| SWEETS' BEST? I've heard a lot of Sweets--from his Basie days on through his Verve years on to his Pablo sessions. (I once chanced to be present during a Lockjaw Davis session for Pablo--he played "Sweet and Lovely," I recall. By mdmartin (Rochester, NY, USA)  |
| sweets has taste and class. I got hooked on Harry Edison because I would hear him on so many recordings and it was always painless- like, who's that hot cat on the horn, it takes half the tune to recognize him because unlike most trumpeters he never hits you over the head or drags you by the ears.
