Our Take

Prepare to be swept off your feet and taken on a swinging journey through the golden era of jazz with the latest offering from the legendary Harry Sweets Edison. Teaming up with the equally iconic Buck Clayton, this album is a delightful collaboration between two jazz titans that is guaranteed to have you tapping your toes and snapping your fingers in no time.

From the moment the first notes of the opener "Swinging with Buck" hit your ears, you are transported to a world where the trumpets sing, the saxophones wail, and the rhythm section grooves like no other. Edison's smooth, expressive trumpet playing is in top form here, effortlessly weaving its way through Clayton's fiery, soulful solos with a grace and finesse that only true masters of the craft can achieve.

Tracks like "Sweets' Blues" and "Buck's Boogie" showcase the effortless chemistry between these two musical giants, as they trade phrases and riffs with a playful energy that is infectious. The arrangements are tight, the solos are scorching, and the overall vibe is one of pure joy and celebration.

In a world that can often feel dark and chaotic, Harry Sweets Edison's latest album is a welcome ray of sunshine that reminds us of the power of music to uplift, inspire, and bring people together. So grab a drink, find a comfy spot to sit back and relax, and let the swinging sounds of Harry Edison and Buck Clayton wash over you like a warm wave of pure musical magic. You won't be disappointed. Play it loud and play it proud, jazz lovers. This one's a keeper.

About the artist

Harry Edison/Buck Clayton

Ah, Harry "Sweets" Edison, the legendary jazz trumpeter whose honeyed tones could melt even the coldest heart. Born in Columbus, Ohio in 1915, Edison began his musical journey at a young age, honing his craft in the vibrant jazz scene of 1930s Kansas City. Known for his effortless technique and warm, lush sound, Edison quickly became a sought-after musician, playing with the likes of Count Basie, Lester Young, and Benny Carter. His distinctive style, marked by his smooth, velvety tone and impeccable phrasing, earned him the nickname "Sweets" and solidified his place as one of the greatest trumpet players of all time. But it wasn't just his playing that set Edison apart - his quirky personality and infectious sense of humour endeared him to all who knew him. Whether he was cracking jokes on stage or regaling his bandmates with tall tales of life on the road, Edison's charm was as captivating as his music. Despite facing numerous obstacles throughout his career, including racism and health issues, Edison continued to perform and record well into his later years, inspiring generations of musicians with his timeless artistry. Even now, decades after his passing in 1999, Harry "Sweets" Edison's music continues to touch the hearts of listeners around the world, reminding us all of the power of jazz to uplift the soul and transcend boundaries. Raise a glass to the one and only "Sweets" - a true icon of the golden age of jazz.
