5.0 out of 5 stars
Harry "Sweets" Edison at his peak!,
By William Faust (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Swinger & Mr. Swing (Audio CD)
Most people associate Sweets Edison with his tenure in Count Basie's band (1938-50) or his obbligato work behind Frank Sinatra on the "swingin" sides for Capitol in the mid-50's. But in 1957 Edison moved back to New York for a brief time and formed the quintet you will hear on this set. This ensemble was perhaps the perfect vehicle for his highly original style, honed behind big bands and song-birds, to flourish as a leader. He just might be at his professional peak here showing great technique and a clear tone wrapped around an improvisational style that never strays too far from the melody yet remains inventive all the same. Great stuff.

The Swinger/ Mr. Swing,
By Dave W. "Dave W." (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Swinger & Mr. Swing (Audio CD)
This double CD is one of my top five favorites. As the album titles suggest, this is pure swing jazz at its best. Harry Edison is at his best, as are tenor sax man Jimmy Forest and pianist Jimmy Jones. Don't let the sticker price for this collection scare you - this is 5 star music.

A must for your Jazz Collection,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Swinger & Mr. Swing (Audio CD)
If you loves Harry "Sweets" Edison, this cd set is a must for your collection. It's so sad he's not here with us any more.
