Artist Links

Trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison is a master of understatement, an inimitable improvisor who places notes with surgical precision. He has likewise achieved remarkable artistic longevity due his continual willingness and ability to develop. A member of Count Basie's classic band from 1938-1950, he also had a long association with Frank Sinatra live and on record, and his '70s recordings with soul compatriot Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis produced works of endless blues invention.

Harry Edison has also released music as a member of Count Basie and His Orchestra, Mills Blue Rhythm Band, The Monterey Jazz Festival Orchestra, Harry Edison and His Orchestra, Harry "Sweets" Edison Quintet, Count Basie Band, and Flip Phillips and His Orchestra.
