Jamming with Edward is an album recorded by three members of The Rolling Stones with Nicky Hopkins and Ry Cooder in Keith Richards' private studio in France during the Let It Bleed sessions of 1969, and released on Rolling Stones Records in 1972. The album reached #33 on the U.S charts. It is a bluesy jam session, featuring a few guest musicians. The eponymous Edward was pianist Nicky Hopkins, as in Edward the Mad Shirt Grinder, Hopkins' star turn on Quicksilver Messenger Service's album Shady Grove.

Legend has it that one sunny day Keith failed to show up for the Let It Bleed sessions, and Mick Taylor was not yet doing a full-time job. As a result, the rest of the band found themselves strained in the studio with little on their hands to do, so they teamed up with their trusty keyboard player Nicky Hopkins and guest guitarist Ry Cooder and spent the whole day jamming and having a lot of fun. Afterwards, however, Cooder briefly accused Richards of having studied the tapes in order to plagiarize his guitar style; since then he has refused to discuss the matter.

Jamming With Edward was remastered and reissued by Virgin Records in 1994.
