Happy 79th birthday Mr.Bickert ! You are the best !
-
Amazing sound from Bickert whether he's got a standard tele neck pickup or a humbucker. I like the standard pu best, but that's just my take.

@hmengland41 I agree that it's a loss for us that Ed Bickert has retired, but since way too many jazzmen have died too young from burnout, I'd prefer that Mr. Bickert has a happy old age than that he goes too soon. It's not like he hasn't left us a treasure of great recordings already.

very seldom that both piano & guitar are used in a combo setting. Ed got his big break when he was recommended to Paul Desmond by Jim Hall to use Ed Bickert as his guitarist. They ended up making three albums together, & would have made more had it not been for Desmond's death from lung cancer. He & Ed were both chain smokers, but Ed quit smoking after Desmond's death.

The drummer is Buff Allen, BTW. (and Neil Swainson on bass, Rick Wilkins on tenor, as noted elsewhere). Beautifully made, tasty music....
Ed Bickert is alive and well and healthy, just retired from playing. And that's a loss for all of us.

SUPERB!!! No matter how many listenings. I think Ed is the greatest guitar player ever.

Deep swinging!

I love his voicings

Meh...
I honestly don't know why people's minds don't explode out of their skulls when they hear Ed... in my top ten favorite Lps from five decade collection is "PURE DESMOND"- like fellow below- it's simply mind shattering!
Ed is Bill Evans on Guitar.....
