CBC: ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY INTEREST ME...THE FACT THAT YOU CAME OUT OF RETIREMENT, IS THAT PART OF THE STORY TRUE, WHEN JIM HALL REFERRED BICKERT & THOMPSON TO YOU?

I've heard some otherwise perfectly acceptable rhythm sections in Toronto that play for visiting "singles", who would have just stopped me stone cold dead in my tracks. But there's a thing that Ed does with chord voicings that is unique in...I'm sorry...
