Jamming With Edward! is an album recorded by three members (Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman) of The Rolling Stones with Nicky Hopkins and Ry Cooder at London's Olympic Studio during the Let It Bleed sessions of 1969 and released on Rolling Stones Records in 1972. The album is a series of loose jams the band performed while waiting for Keith Richards to show up to the studio. On the strength of the band's association with the album, Jamming With Edward! reached #33 on the US charts[1], although it failed to reach the UK listings.
The eponymous Edward was pianist Nicky Hopkins, in reference to Edward the Mad Shirt Grinder, Hopkins' star turn on Quicksilver Messenger Service's album Shady Grove. Hopkins also contributed the cover art.
The liner notes were written by Mark Paytress and Mick Jagger. Jamming With Edward! was remastered and reissued by Virgin Records in 1994.
