Guitar great Ed Bickert appeared in the Paul Desmond item earlier this week ....
"I grew up in Toronto and used to hear Ed play almost weekly at George's Spaghetti House - he was Canada's best kept jazz secret. That old Tele with the added neck humbucker was the only guitar I saw him use. It was his signature piece. Back in the day, he was a chain smoker and always had a cigarette in his mouth when he played - I'm guessing he's chewing nicotine gum. Ed Bickert - you quietly inspired thousands of guitarists and jazz fans, including me."
Trio: Bickert, Dave Young & Terry Clarke
Song: Victor Young, Sam Lewis 1932
