Yes! Amazing guitar player, although heโ€™s not really known for that.

Ed Bickertโ€™s guitar was definitely a big factor. The rest of the band not too shabby! IIRC, that was my intro to Paul Desmond. Itโ€™s one of my Jazz Gateway albums. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜Ž

Very cool. Iโ€™ve watched it before. Probably sent by you. Great to watch again.

Itโ€™s good to have more chord options. 9th and 13th chords are essential

I agree! Iโ€™m not a keyboard player, but if I was, Iโ€™d play a B3! Beautiful instrument, but a real pain to haul to gigs.

Incredible player. Got to see him in Portland at The Roseland Theater.

Iโ€™ve been listening to that record since 1978. It was given to me as a birthday gift. Ed Bickert was extraordinary. Paul Desmond of the guitar! ๐Ÿ˜Ž
