Reviews:
Eddie Higgins' delicate tone and conception were often compared to those of Bill Evans, one of the most influential and successful jazz pianists. He mostly played bop and mainstream jazz music throughout his career. Higgins was at home playing melodies with groove and swing-like feeling without being too superfluous.
With John Doughten on tenor sax, Phil Flannigan on bass and Danny Burger on drums, the Eddie Higgins Quartet performs favorite jazz standards and originals on this consistently swinging set. "Zoot's Hymns" is a Higgins original that sets the tone, and other highlights include "The Red Door," "In Your Own Sweet Way," "Hi Fly," and "'Tis Autumn."
