  Swinging and singing both describe the unmistakable sound of Harry "Sweets" Edison (1919-1999), one of the most important stylists in the history of jazz trumpet. Sweets plays with a simplicity born of sophisticated artistry. It propelled him to the Count Basie Band, which he joined in 1937, thereafter becoming one of its most frequently featured soloists. This programme, produced just before his death, celebrates Edison's spare style that blends subtle humour, impeccable timing, and the sweetly muted tone that gave him his nickname (NPR)
