Jim Hall Tribute To Ed Bickert

Jazz guitar legend Jim Hall sends a greeting and tribute to fellow jazz guitar legend Ed Bickert. The video originally premiered at Glenn Gould Studio, Toronto, on November 6th, 2012, for the concert "Ed Bickert At 80 ~ A Jazz Celebration." Jim was unable to come to Toronto so he sent this poignant and funny message to his old friend, Ed. The audience was entirely captivated and delighted by Jim's presence and tales. For all jazz fans, please enjoy more about that concert that was recorded for broadcast on CBC Radio 2's Canada Live! visit music.cbc.ca/#/...

Such a generous tribute from one master guitar player to another. Jim was so very modest and self-effacing.

[@jazzterboi1]

As always, a true gentleman. One legend acknowledges another.
This is why they are two of my favorite musicians, ever.
Happy Birthday Ed.

The guitar talent in Canada is quite impressive. Many of these geniuses are hardly household names but that doesn't mean that they don't belong in the pantheon of the greats.

[@dreadnought45]

Amen! to that, golds04. Amen to that. That would be a world-class duet.

Jim-PLEASE try to get Ed out and do a duet with you.Many many people who love you both would be ex static.

[@fullmoon7192]

I guess, It's never too late... It would be a duet to watch, love, admire and learn from... what else could we ask for ??? There used to be on UA-cam something called: "Duets Impossible". The one that comes to mind is: Kathy Melua & Eva Cassidy...so, why not Jim and Ed ???

[@andybaldman]

It’s too late.

[@RBC2_]

Sigh... I miss Ed's playing so much.

Stop missing it... Just play it... I mean, both of them...
Why not ? Every transcribed solo of these two Gent's might become another stepping stone in your's and/or mine adventure with this thing called: "JAZZ"

[@sega62s]

Jim seems like a gentleman, love is playing, so atmospheric, and colored with sounds that makes him unique

Yes, Jim is "The Gentleman". Where do you think Jim's got those colours and sounds from Lol... ???
BTW: It should be: *Love his playing*, not: "love is playing,..." dude...
Get your English 101 refresher before you write another nonsense such as this one, will ya ???
