About the artist

Harry 'Sweets' Edison and His Orchestra

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.
