专辑介绍

日本著名发烧爵士品牌 Venus 所灌录的专辑,一向以录音优异,名家辈出让爵士资深乐友、发烧友所肯定。爵士界超人气的艾迪·希金斯三重奏 (Eddie Higgins Trio) 一向以完美的合奏默契广受乐迷欢迎。而著名的「My Foolish Heart」专辑里,更是请史考特·汉弥顿 (Scott Hamilton) 跨刀组合四重奏,一同以悠扬的鸣奏轻轻满足每双挑剔的耳朵。

Eddie Higgins has been a solid bop pianist for decades, though he seems most appreciated by the folks who run the Japanese label Venus, for whom he has recorded frequently in his golden years. Joined by two-thirds of Phil Woods' longtime rhythm section (Steve Gilmore and Bill Goodwin), along with special guest Scott Hamilton on tenor sax, Higgins explores a dozen ballads, most of which have been favorites of jazz musicians longer than the pianist has been playing professionally. Higgins doesn't mind taking a back seat to Hamilton's Ben Webster-inspired tenor, though he can also wail when he chooses to do so. The snappy take of "Russian Lullaby" is a highlight, featuring all four of the musicians in turn. One can hear Higgins singing softly to himself as he introduces his lush arrangement of "Embraceable You." While there is nothing groundbreaking about any of the selections, this is excellent music that will provide a perfect backdrop for any jazz fan's romantic evening.
