Eddie Higgins - You Don't Know What Love Is

One of Eddie Higgins' best recordings on 180-gram vinyl!

Through his numerous releases from Venus Records, Eddie Higgins has firmly established his position as one of the most celebrated jazz pianists in Japan. He has also performed and recorded with many of the biggest names in jazz, including Coleman Hawkins, Jack Teagarden, Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie and Wayne Shorter.

"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...This is easily one of Eddie Higgins' best all-around recordings." — AllMusic
