King of the Tenors / Gee ..

'King Of the Tenor Sax' is a 1953 album originally released on Norgran titled 'The Consummate Artistry Of Ben Webster'. Webster is accompanied by The Oscar Peterson Trio, and, on several tracks, by Benny Carter and Harry "Sweets" Edison. 'Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You' is an album by trumpeter Harry Edison which was recorded in 1957. Edison is accompanied by Ben Webster and The Oscar Peterson Trio with Ray Brown on double bass and Alvin Stoller on drums. "Sweets" Edison had a totally unique trumpet sound. One can really hear why Edison was known as " Sweets". These two albums shows that many top swing all-stars were actually at their prime in the 1950s.
