Ed Thigpen (1930 - 2010)

[Paul Creasey]

The Drummer who turned Brushes into a true Art Form!
His work with The Oscar Peterson Trio was the epitome of elegance in Drumming!
Sadly, another of the "Greats" passes.
R.I.P. Ed.

Some of Ed's work was shown on BBC4 on Friday night (an old edition of "Jazz 625").

He was the last surviving member of any of the classic Oscar Peterson Trios, wasn't he?

A Sad loss.

Sad news indeed, another drumming legend passes on, as you say Paul brush artistry at it's best.
