It's not came from his tone. He was nick-named as "Sweets" by Lester Young. Description in the Wikipedia is correct. "Drummer Elvin Jones explained the origin of Edison's nickname: "Sweets had so many lady friends, he was such a handsome man. He had all these girls all over him all the time, that's why they called him Sweets."
The understatement element of his mature playing adds charm to the whole thing; the sound of one who's been around.
Sweets is the perfect name for a man with his tone and style. Great stuff. I could listen for hours.
His sound and feel - wonderful.
Willow Weep has never been done more spiritually nor more beautifully.
I bow religiously before this really Sweet Take
He might not have had the chops of Dizzy and others, but that sound, and just so much soul.
One of the all time greats.
The energy of his perfection melts my heart -
❤ Sweets -
Peace be with you Harry Sweets Edison ☮

An absolute delight.
Sweets could always play. Have to like his playing.
Absolutely sublime
nuance immeasurable. so much communicated w' so few notes and the multitude in between!
The most distinctive Trumpet sound in the history of Jazz. You will always know that it's "Sweets" within the first few notes!

Piękna Ballada w wykonaniu tego Mistrza 😂❤
Wow!
Love Sweets! Thanks for the post!
There is much senority and purify from Sweets playing.He blows with sincerity and every note comes out perfect bringing the designated outcome.
He worked a lot with Lady Day in her best recording period. Listen to my friend the New and late Jimmy Woode.
Wow!!!!!!
sweet from sweet!!
Amazing.
Is that why they call him "Sweets". So beautiful. ❤️🎺

¿Ray Brown al bajo?
No. Ray is a bit younger than these guys. It's Jimmy Woode on bass.

Hmmmm, I thought it might have been Richard Davis. It appears he's playing a lion's head bass very much similar to Davis' signature axe.🤔
Who says that all that sweets could do was "Beep, Boop and and Beep-boop-beep
