	Harry Edison: 1915-1999
		Edison developed a warm, rounded trumpet tone and an individual approach to both melodic and rhythmic phrasing.
		Edison later recalled that when he arrived in the studio, Sinatra simply told him that when he heard a hole in the music, he should fill it.
		Edison claimed that the art of accompaniment lay not so much in knowing what to play as knowing when to play, and his sympathetic ability to phrase in complete accord with a singer's breathing patterns was much in demand.

	In Performance: JAZZ - New York Times
		Harry (Sweets) Edison's stay at Iridium offered a rare chance to hear one of the last great swing-era trumpet soloists.
		Edison's sets should be compulsory listening for any musician with even the faintest desire to play jazz; he is a master at making drama out of nuance, and his instinct for editing makes his improvisations classically poetic.
		Edison has a sly sense of humor, common to many players of his generation.

		Neither an innovator nor an iconoclast, trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison is simply one of the bluesiest, hardest-swinging, and downright tasty jazz musicians of the 20th century.
		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 [+].
		In fact, leadoff track "Hollering at the Watkins" finds Edison building one of his trademark perfect solos in which each chorus gains more energy as the trumpeter seems to grab hold of the band, making it swing harder as his lines pucker with melodicism and timing.

		Sweets Edison on the bandstand at the Loa
		Sweets snapped his fingers and waggled his 74-year-old hips a little before launching into a series of blistering passages that included triplets within triplets and a pianissimo series of high Cs that not too many trumpet players would even attempt.
		Edison had left Columbus, Ohio, his native burg, as a lad in his 20s, toting the York cornet his mother bought him for 50 cents down and 35 cents a month, to join Lucky Millinder's band in the Apple, which was carried then as now on the Main Stem.

		Edison contributes three riff-driven compositions and hedges the remainder of the program with a handful of standards.
		Edison’s epigrammatic “E” annexes the most album space and is once again brimming with an ambience of elegance.
		Sweets and Jaws are examples of a breed of jazz musician comparatively rare these days- one who balances a signature sound with original technique to create something wholly his own.

	StereoTimes - Music Review
		On the opening track written by Edison, “Yellow Rose of Brooklyn” is a tune that features Rich on a four-minute solo that allows the listener to hear his creative and monstrous play on the drums and his musical rendition of all the colors and dynamics of his hometown of Brooklyn.
		This is a real finger snapper and allows all of the band members to demonstrate their remarkable talents and will take you back to when it was fashionable to put on a suit and go hear your favorite big band.
		Sweets trademark performances were his sweet, smooth and romantic style on trumpet.

		Trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison has been delighting audiences with his warm and mellow tone since joining the Count Basie Orchestra in the 1930s at the age of 18.
		Later, Edison elaborates on his style, noting his tendency to stay in the middle register where he feels he can best exploit his own musical ideas.
		Edison’s tone inspired Basie saxophonist Lester Young to give him the nickname "Sweets." He recalls Young’s knack for giving people nicknames that stuck, citing Billie Holiday’s nickname "Lady Day" as another example.

	Harry "Sweets" Edison Dies
		Edison was 83 when he died in his birthplace, Columbus, Ohio.
		Like his peers and compatriots, Benny Carter and Coleman Hawkins, Edison became a jazz musician in the early days of swing and weathered the many shifts and developments of the music without losing his relevancy or his charm as a musician.
		Edison’s ability to play “sweetly” brought him steady work, but his interest in jazz was never submerged, and during the same period in the seventies that he was Redd Foxx’s musical director for theatrical dates he also performed with tenor saxophonist Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis.

		In 1956-57, Sweets Edison and Ben Webster teamed up to cut two albums for the Verve label; both are superb, though this one might be a tad better.
		This is an excellent disc from Harry 'Sweets' Edison at the peak of his career.
		I have no idea why this CD took so long to emerge, but this is the finest Sweets recording ever and one of the very best small group swing (mainstream) recordings of the 1950s that were so fertile for good jazz.

		Although trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison and tenor saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis recorded several albums together in the 1970s, this CD reissue was their only Pablo date as a team.
		Edison is the nominal leader and he contributed four of the eight selections (which alternate with four veteran standards), but the competitive Lockjaw gets in his fiery licks too.
		While bassist John Heard and drummer Jimmie Smith are part of the quintet and pianist Dolo Coker is on half of the program, Count Basie himself drops by for four songs to cheer on his former sidemen.

		Edison says he was actually trying to sound like his Basie-mate, Lester Young.
		In the emphasis put on his muted work, however, the charm of his open horn playing is often overlooked.

		This set features trumpet great Harry "sweets" Edison live in Los Angeles shortly after relocating there in 1953.
		On the first seven selections -- reissued from an earlier LP -- Edison is accompanied by pianist Arnold Ross, Joe Comfort on bass, and drummer Alvin Stoller (his regular band at the time).

		On the album closer, Sweets plays a wonderful, even fairly modern sounding, rendition of "Embraceable You" using a Harmon mute.
		The ballads, enhanced by the wonderful harmonic sense of pianist Hank Jones, are the highlight of this release, and show both Webster and Sweets' unbeatable melodic sense.
