Harry Edison, Summer 1978 (Black & Blue)

[Dan Gould]

Fans of Sweets Edison, and/or fans of the Black & Blue "Midnight Slows" releases need to be aware of this new release out a short time ago.  Seems that in 1978 Sweets went into the studio with Bill Doggett on organ, Milt Hinton and Oliver Jackson for an ill-fated session of romantic standards. The Midnight Slows series was losing steam and this session was shelved until now.

An unfortunate decision as it is easily the best of these dates, IMO. Sweets sounds fabulous, start to finish.

If you like Sweets, pounce!

I got the rest of the new Black & Blue releases that way.
