Edison and tenor saxophonist Jimmy Forrest work well together, inspiring one another with lyrical lines on the ballads like "The Very Thought of You," and Edison's easygoing blues "Pussy Willow," but also heat up the session with their playing on an up-tempo Basie-like blues in "Nasty." Edison switches to open horn during most of the second CD. Forrest's vibrato-filled solo on "Ill Wind," and Edison's memorable rendition of "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home?," including both open and muted trumpet solos, are second-half highlights. Pianist Jimmy Jones, bassist Joe Benjamin, drummer Charlie Persip, and rhythm guitarist Freddie Greene make up the capable rhythm section. This reissue is a part of the Verve Elite limited-edition series with only 6,500 copies pressed.

哈利爱迪生绰号甜心是摇摆时代贝西大乐队的明星乐手之一,他那会说话的弱音小号演奏活灵活现地展现了摇摆乐的伟大精髓。这是他50年代在Verve的小编制录音之一,此标题用来形容也正可谓恰如其分,同阵容还有一张叫Mr Swing。特别推荐开场曲以及第二曲前半爱迪生标记性的独奏。
