That's lovely! I didn't expect to see a tele though, is it common in this genre?

It's common with Julian Lage

Ed Bickert made the Tele a respectable jazz guitar, although there was nothing respectable about his Tele.



"The bridge cover, often called an 'ashtray', was used by Ed as an actual ashtray."

If you've ever wondered what he listens to and is inspired by...

8:04 for a few seconds sounds like gibberish jazz, but yeah, classy + tight but with a bit of naughty + loose for good measure.

I’ll have to check him out, haven’t came across him before. When I think of a Tele and jazz it’s Ted Greene that comes to mind for me. He was a beautiful player and probably one of the first guys I heard doing touch harmonics. A shame he didn’t release much material during his life but worth checking out if you like Lage

I know of Greene; very influential as a teacher and author.

Bickert did some sessions with Paul Desmond, which I recommend.

Is there a particular album I should start with?
