Harry "Sweets" Edison (October 10, 1915 – July 27, 1999) was an influential American jazz trumpeter known for his work with the Count Basie Orchestra and as a prominent Hollywood studio musician. Born in Columbus, Ohio, and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Edison was introduced to music by an uncle and began playing the trumpet at the age of twelve. By 1933, he had joined the Jeter-Pillars Orchestra in Cleveland and later played with the Mills Blue Rhythm Band and Lucky Millinder.

In 1937, Edison moved to New York City and joined the Count Basie Orchestra, where he was affectionately nicknamed "Sweets" by saxophonist Lester Young due to his sweet tone. Edison was a key soloist and occasional composer/arranger with the Basie band, contributing to its classic sound until it disbanded in 1950. He appeared in the 1944 film "Jammin' the Blues" and was known for his muted trumpet work backing singers like Frank Sinatra.

After the Basie band, Edison led his own groups and worked with Jazz at the Philharmonic. He settled in Los Angeles in the early 1950s and became a sought-after studio musician, collaborating with artists such as Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, and Ella Fitzgerald. Edison was known for his use of the Harmon mute and his collaborations with arranger Nelson Riddle.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Edison continued to perform with various orchestras on television shows and was featured in the soundtrack of "Lady Sings the Blues." He served as the Musical Director for Redd Foxx and frequently performed in Europe and Japan. Edison was honored by the Los Angeles Jazz Society and remained active in music until shortly before his death from prostate cancer in 1999.
