THREE CLASSIC ALBUMS PLUS - THE SWINGER - MR SWING - HARRY EDISON - GEE, BABY AIN'T I GOOD TO YOU

Description:
2 CD set. Harry Edison is the studio horn man of choice for both Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. Here are a few well chosen quotes from the original sleeve notes to convey what you can expect on these finely re mastered albums. 'The Swinger': In the words of Quincy Jones, then a rookie player himself: 'It was the directness of what he did that made such an impression on me. he swung straight ahead. He has pure heart'. 'Mr Swing Harry Edison': Using the same personnel as 'The Swinger', Jimmy Forrest tenor, Jimmy Jones piano, Freddie Green guitar, Joe Benjamin bass and Charlie Persip on drums, finds 'Sweets' in a more informal setting than his usual hot swinging mood. 'Uncomplicated and plenty of room to solo'. 'Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You': Take a look at that line up. Sweets himself, Ben Webster, Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis and Alvin Stoller on drums. The relaxed mood continues with Webster displaying an ever richer sound with his tenor. The plus comprises seven of nine tracks from the album 'Sweets'. As named by Lester Young, Sweets pretty much takes full ownership of this set, arranging all the selections and writing six of them. Let's finish with the last quote from the 'Sweets' album. 'Sweets Edison does have a readily identifiable sound. a powerful, virile, insinuating sound that is one of the most interesting around today. one which will be fresh when all the ephemeral cult sounds have been forgotten'.
