1999 - Harry "Sweets" Edison, a master of the jazz trumpet who was a
mainstay of the Count Basie band, joins the ancestors in Columbus,
Ohio at the age of 83. In a career spanning more than 60 years,
Edison had that rarest of qualities, an utterly individual style.
Although his sound was not especially unique, his articulation,
his ability to invest each note with a driving sense of swing, was
completely his own. It didn't matter whether he was playing with
Basie, with Frank Sinatra or Oscar Peterson, or on any of his
innumerable recording sessions; his solos, stamped with his
singular phrasing, always popped out of the mix.
