The Piano Artistry Of Jonathan Edwards

Autumn In New York

The Piano Artistry Of Jonathan Edwards
With Darlene Edwards
Columbia CL 1024
1957

From the back cover: This album was originally conceived as a piano album, but the careful listener will detect a voice amidst the twinkling arpeggios. It is, of course, that of Mrs. Edwards, or, as she is known to her many friends and admires, Darlene. Mrs. Edwards, who is now a prominent clubwoman and a driving force in her community, returned from private life to take part in this album, selecting her own repertoire of sophisticated songs, several of which she originally introduced in Trenton, New Jersey. Once Mre. Edwards had forcefully expressed her willingness to participate in this album, Jonathan, always the devoted husband in spite of the many demands on his time and energy, accepted graciously.
