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着跳舞乐队时代一些艺术家的明显痕迹。他善于独奏也善于伴奏,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与SCOTT HAMILTON(萨克斯)、STEVE GILMORE(贝斯)、BILL GOODWIN(鼓)合作的四重奏已经推出过不少经典专辑。虽然从Bop演奏起家,EddieHiggins四重奏的作品却绝对不会有难以消化的味道,而Eddie Higgins尊重旋律进行的演奏方式,可以让你清楚地回想起歌曲熟悉的旋律。Eddie Higgins对于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准确拿捏,听来让人沉醉。
Eddie Higgins的钢琴演奏如洁白无暇的月光,轻轻触碰沉睡已久的耳朵,叫醒沉寂已久的孤寂的灵魂......
Album Intro
引用
Eddie Higgins has been on the jazz scene for a long time, but he seems to be a best-kept secret by those able to track down his various releases for independent labels in the U.S. or Japanese titles, such as this one from Venus. This 2003 session features the veteran purely as a soloist, performing a dozen of his favorite ballads. While most of them are time-tested standards such as the elegant "My Funny Valentine," the shimmering "Beautiful Love," or "Skylark" (with an Asian-sounding introduction that suggests the humor of its composer), there are some lesser-known gems as well. The bittersweet ballad "Yellow Days" hardly pops up on many jazz CDs, though Higgins' richly textured arrangement should attract other musicians to it. Even though one doesn't hear the lyrics to "Again," this seasoned pianist seems to get across the implied apology to a loved one for a senseless quarrel. "Dance Only With Me," an overlooked jewel by the masterful songwriting team of Comden, Green, and Styne, is arranged as an elegant, deliberate waltz. Recorded and mixed in glorious 24-bit digital sound, this is easily one of Eddie Higgins' best all-around recordings.
Eddie Higgins Biography:
引用
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.
