“This trio wears its gypsy jazz heart on its sleeve and uses it to launch into the musical stratosphere. To hear them is to love them.”
– Michael Mackenzie (ABC Radio National)
“Harry Edwards and his various ensembles are amongst the most exciting musicians coming out of Tasmania. His grasp on traditional European music and its fusion with early jazz is superb, coupled with his increasingly unique writing I expect to see him emerge onto stages at WOMAD and the like in the next couple of years.”
– Dane Hunnerup (Artist Investment Panel Chair, Arts Tasmania)
“The Harry Edwards Trio were a great fit for our audience. Lots of fun and plenty of improvisation.”
– Ross Giblin (Hobart Brewing Company)
“The Harry Edwards Trio blew me away with their fresh and innovative style of gypsy jazz. Harry is a superb Manouche guitarist and his original tunes are very special.”
– Robin Nolan (Internationally renowned performer and educator of gypsy jazz)
“Wonderful gypsy jazz…swing was good too…toe-tapping…loved it!”
– Various audience members (Moonah Arts Centre, Friday Nights Live)
“Full of motion and skilled finger work, Harry Edwards’ jaunty gypsy jazz is irresistibly fun. Even slower tunes like “From Marjorie” add the sweet strum between measures while providing unusual chord changes to keep it fresh; and the painterly “It is Always Now” shows some admitted Debussy influences. Harry has a depth of presentation and can evoke many-textured moods.”
– Debbie Burke (Jazz author)
