One of the more individual tenors to emerge from the swing era, the distinctive Buddy Tate came to fame as Herschel Evans’ replacement with Count Basie’s Orchestra. Recorded at New Orleans Jazzclub Scheveningen Holland a beautiful partnership between one of the most individual tenors from the swing era the distinctive Buddy Tate, and the always swinging Harry “Sweets” Edison, who got the most mileage out of a single note and is immediately recognizable within a note or two for his long-used repetition and simplicity.

Harry «Sweets» Edison got the most mileage out of a single note, like his former boss Count Basie. Edison, immediately recognizable within a note or two, long used repetition and simplicity to his advantage while always swinging. He played in local bands in Columbus and then in 1933 joined the Jeter-Pillars Orchestra. Mixed directly on two-track analogue tracks, the absolute best-sounding format.
