Jazz guitarist Ed Bickert is also featured on ICFC on an LP he cut with bassist Don Thompson. Here are a few selections from one of his solo albums, entitled I Like To Recognize The Tune.

This album, CTL #5206, was recorded and mixed at Nimbus 9/Soundstage Studios in Toronto, by engineers David Greene and Ringo Hrycyna, with arrangements by Don Thompson. The musical lineup was Bickert on electric and acoustic guitar, Thompson on bass fiddle, vibes and piano, Gary Williamson on electric and grand piano, Terry Clarke on drums and percussion, Marty Morell on percussion, Ron Laurie on cello, Jack Neilson and Walter Babiak on viola, and violinists Bill Richards, Vicki Richards, Andrew Benac, Samuel Hersenhoren, Albert Pratz, Maurice Solway and Isador Desser. As you might guess from the presence of so many string instruments, this album leans towards the lighter side of jazz, but the performances and arrangements are impeccable, so it's definitely not easy-listening pap. "It Might As Well Be Spring" is a sprightly Rogers & Hammerstein number, while "You're As Right As Rain" is a smooth cover of a Stylistics hit by Thom Bell and Linda Creed. "Street Of Dreams" is a jazz standard by Victor Young and Sam Lewis that was covered by everyone from Frank Sinatra to Sarah Vaughn to The Ink Spots, and the gentle ballad "Skylark" is another classic, written by Johnny Mercer and Hoagy Carmichael.
