专辑介绍:
Eddie Higgins爱德华·海登·希金斯1932年2月21日在美国马萨诸塞州的剑桥降生。童年一直由他的母亲教育他。大学时，希金斯在芝加哥的夜总会里演奏钢琴。有时他领导他自己的三重奏组合，但是他有时也和包括艾尔·格雷，科尔曼·霍金斯，弗雷迪·哈伯德等在内的知名艺术家合作演出。虽然他的曲目有折衷的感觉，但是希金斯的风格承载著跳舞乐队时代一些艺术家的明显痕迹。他善於独奏也善於伴奏，他常常与他的歌手妻子梅雷迪思·丹布罗西奥合作演出。
身为Venus Records旗下最受欢迎的大将，Eddie Higgins营造浪漫气氛的功力绝对是第一流的，偕同萨克斯风大师 Scott Hamilton 与单簧管大师 Ken Peplowski一起继《It is Magic》专辑后于09年再次联袂打造《Essential Best》。
Scott Hamilton在1973年登上舞台之后，就一直是爵士乐界响叮当当的萨克斯风巨匠，现场表演与录音作品的质量都极为惊人。年轻一辈的Ken Peplowski与他在这张专辑中有很精彩的互飚与即兴。相较於演奏水準早有定评的Scott Hamilton，Ken Peplowski虽然知名度不是那么高，但是演奏实力也不容小视，在这张专辑中还担纲演奏单簧管（又称竖笛）。不同於两支萨克斯风的互相竞争，萨克斯风与竖笛的关系比较像是合作与唱和，配上Eddie Higgins在一旁煽风点火，让这些经典标准曲浪漫到最高点。Eddie Higgins对於慢板歌曲的处理的确有一手，在钢琴轻声演奏的同时还能够顾及音色的圆润及节奏的準确拿捏，而Scott Hamilton的萨克斯就像一杯红酒一样让人沉醉，听来久久不能释怀。
洁白无暇如月光的Eddie Higgins三重奏恰到好处的低吟浅奏，轻轻触碰沉睡已久的耳朵，叫醒沉寂已久的孤寂的灵魂，一连串浪漫的爵士乐章，带来醉人温暖意境......

Eddie Higgins Biography:
Born and raised in New England, Eddie (Haydn) Higgins started his professional career in Chicago, while studying at the Northwestern University Music School. For twenty years Eddie worked at some of Chicago's best known jazz clubs, including the Brass Rail, Preview Lounge, Blue Note, Cloister Inn and Jazz Ltd. His longest and most memorable job was at the London House, where he led the house trio for twelve years, playing opposite the biggest jazz stars of the 50's and 60's, including Stan Getz, Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie, Errol Garner, George Shearing, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans and many others.
During his stay in Chicago, Eddie recorded a number of albums under his auspices and many more as a sideman with a wide variety of musicians, ranging in style from Coleman Hawkins to Wayne Shorter, Don Goldie to Freddie Hubbard, Jack Teagarden to Al Grey. Eddie's versatility is well-known: he has backed singers, done studio work as both pianist and arranger and worked in every jazz medium from Dixieland to Modern Jazz.
In 1970, Eddie moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and began spending winters in Florida and summers on Cape Cod, where he plays local clubs and enjoys sailing and tennis. Since the early 1980's, Eddie has traveled widely on the jazz festival circuit and has performed frequently in Europe and Japan. His releases on the Japanese “Venus” label have earned him number one in jazz sales on more than one album. In 1988, Eddie and jazz singer/pianist/artist Meredith d'Ambrosio were married and have become a popular team at clubs and festivals, as well as recording for Sunnyside Records.
In recent years, Eddie's recording activity has become even more prolific and attention to his play has grown to be more widely recognized. He has received praise from such as Nat Hentoff and Gary Giddons. Attempts to describe his style are exemplified by the following:
To these tributes, I would add that Eddie's play can be extraordinarily moving. Listen to his treatment of Brazilian themes on “Speaking of Jobim” and solo work on the album “Time On My Hands,” the latter which achieves an almost unparalleled marriage of style, composition and audio fidelity. You would think it was being played in a cathedral.
