- Found this old file- not on youtube now- this needs to be seen and appreciated. There are just so few videos of this great Master of the Telecaster, Ed Bickert, CME. I own no rights to this video clip. Please invest in the numerous, great albums featuring this amazing guitarist!
We have a million UA-cam jazz guitarists today, and none of them are even close to Ed.
It just cannot get any better than this. With all the due respect and admiration I feel for genius Joe Pass, I'd say he was very lucky Ed Bicker didn't record and play more solo concerts. Ed's harmonic concepts, taste and sound are just out of this world.
If any jazz guitarist hasn't heard this guy, then I would doubt his jazz education. So many talk about the well known ones but man, this guy is a once in a lifetime. Thanks for the post.
Wow, it doesn't get much better than this. Ed is a role model for all of us who aspire to play jazz guitar. His tone, his harmonic sense, his rhythm.... if you try to emulate Ed, you can't go wrong. He was truly one of the greats.
R.I.P. Ed Bickert. What a wonderful genius, for the world to have enjoyed.
How can this have only 347 likes?
In terms of musical taste and playing is one of the best jazz guitarists ever
RIP He was the BEST. A classy man all the way around; a gentleman.
Growing up in Toronto it was great to be able to hear him live from time to time. My favourite was with Paul Desmond at Bourbon St. ($9.99 for a bowl of pasta - any sauce - just add a glass of wine).
The greatest guitar player of all time. Tone, touch, melody and timing. And insane instincts and range. Nobody better.
Incomparable, unique, elegant, a true master of the art of playing jazz guitar. For me, number one. I feel love for him.
A special guitarist who can create a beat completely out of the silence found in between notes and chords.
Absolutely One of the Finest at the Craft.
Excellent playing- he was way out there, into his own groove- thanks
Good grief... Ed's playing is always just jaw dropping. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Some people, musicians included, believe that what they do is frivolous. As a “music customer” who has enjoyed countless hours sharing an experience that I lack the ability to create I’d like to thank them for the joy they’ve given me. Ed played in the Hamilton area and I’ve tried to attend whenever Ed or any of his Boss Brass buddies were in our area.
Someone should market Ed Bickert Chewing Gum and sell it in music stores! It must be the secret that separates the good players from the truly outstanding ones!
I've never understood why Ed Bickert was not celebrated by the global jazz community in the way he deserved. I think the passage of time will rectify that because his talent is objectively undeniable. The man was also incredibly humble, soft spoken with a dry sense of humour and generous in that he would share some musical advice or display his curiosity of people and life in a brief chat. What an amazing man.
Love the “Darn that Dream” quote at the end of the tune ,
My grandmother was his sister I have his original harmony amp from 1962 it's sounds great
