That is so sweet! ...a great example of what can make improvised jazz so compelling on a guitar. Ed never loses the atmosphere of Monk's tune. You keep it relatively straight ahead, simple, and very blue - in keeping with the song's mood. But I don't really hear any cliches. Lines flow, and Ed has really nice touch.

Does he ever play a Telecaster anymore? That's a great sound. (I suppose it is slightly "Sternesque" - nothing wrong with that!)
