Oscar peterson we get requests rar5/25/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Simon Khoury, the radio DJ at that time, used to give a lot of airplay to Ed's song "Denise," a charming bossa nova recorded by Thigpen as a sideman on the album "Yesterday & Today" by Toots Thielemans (who whistled and played guitar in unison, one of his trademarks, on that specific track) and the underrated string multi-instrumentalist (fiddle, violin, viola, cello) from Denmark, Svend Asmussen. The very first time I remember having heard Ed Thigpen, without knowing I was listening to him, was in 1973 (when I was 10 years old), on the JB-AM radio in my native Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). If you would like to share your thoughts, please feel free to visit the temporary Facebook Group here. As well as an entertainer, Ed was also a gifted educator in his field and a great human being. Ed Thigpen has contributed more than half a century of music to the world. We are very sad to announce that Ed Thigpen has passed away on January 13th 2010.Ī true legend and master musician has passed away.
