Biography

A legend of jazz who passed away in 1999, “Sweets” Edison was born in Columbus, Ohio in 1915, and began playing the trumpet at age 12. In the early 1930s, he started to work with “territory” bands from Cleveland to St. Louis, and from the late 30s on to 1950 he played with Count Basie almost continuously. Edison single-handedly developed a vocabulary for the Harmon-muted trumpet.
