4.0 out of 5 stars
Still Sweet at 60, August 16, 2000
This is a very nice recording and although most of the guys here are in their sunset years, there's little sign of slowing down. This small swing ensemble recording features Edison along with stalwarts Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Count Basie on a few tunes. There is a nice mix of charts: some chestnuts (Ain't Misbehavin, Avalon, Spring is Here) along with some original Edison compositions. Blues, swing and ballads.The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that it's not Edison's best work which can be found in reissues from the 50's on Verve and other labels. What else can I say, even at 60 Sweets is, well......sweet!
