Eddie Higgins Trio – Haunted Heart (1997) [Japan 2000] [SACD / Venus Records – TKGV-7]

Title: Eddie Higgins Trio – Haunted Heart (1997) [Japan 2000]
Genre: Jazz
Format: SACD ISO + DSF DSD64 + Hi-Res FLAC

This is a haunted, introspective album of piano-trio jazz very much indebted to Bill Evans and, to a lesser extent, George Shearing. Veteran Eddie Higgins mostly serves up standards from the Great American Songbook in a tasteful, unshowy, often gently swinging way, harmonically locked into the mainstream, occasionally throwing in a gentle quote for humor’s sake.
