If you have a Telecaster, take it out tonight and play it in his honor. And if you do or don’t listen to his music anyway - we lost a great player.

My heart is heavy.
Ed was my idol and inspiration.
Rest in peace Maestro.

Oh, no! So sorry to hear this. Ed is one of my favorite musicians ever. My condolences to his family and friends, I hope they know how highly regarded Ed was by his peers and fans alike.

Such an elegant guy and player. That congenial comping. Chordal passages like gentle bubbling brooks. And all with seemingly no pretense.
I'm home streaming everything Ed Bickert tonight, playing my Tele.
They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
RIP, Maestro.

Very sad, love Ed.

Requiem In Pace, mr. Ed Bickert.
Your legacy will surely live on for whole generations of Jazz guitar players to come.
Yours very truly,

The rest of the album is even better, including a nice take of 'Round Midnight.

thanks Tim

Finally, an obit in the Globe & Mail: Jazz virtuoso Ed Bickert influenced a generation of Canadian guitarists - The Globe and Mail
If a quiet mind is considered a crown, Ed Bickert was the king of calm jazz guitarists. The Canadian great was a celebrated introvert and a genius in the background. His nimble style and four-bar wit demanded to be heard, but only in the best hushed, economical and distinctively harmonic ways. An appreciator of turtleneck sweaters, he cleared his throat only if he had something absolutely necessary to say, and although he usually spoke with his Fender Telecaster, occasionally he used words...

Well, I'm embarrassed to say I never really listened to Ed, somehow he just passed me by. But I've certainly enjoyed listening to the videos in this thread, and sure wish I could play like him. Wow, such a tasteful player. Better late than never, I'll be listening to him a lot from now on. Sorry to hear he has gone.
Can anyone date this? goodwill epiphone
