Eddie Higgins Trio - A Fine Romance

Famous love songs compiled on 180-gram LP!

In October 2006, expert pianist Eddie Higgins started on a challenging project. Higgins, together with Jay Leonhart and Mark Taylor, went into the studio and performed 50 love songs that had not been previously performed on another album. These tracks are set to be released as four albums. A Fine Romance is the first in the series.

Taking into account the number of albums Higgins has recorded throughout his life, it's astounding that the three could find 50 famous tunes he had not recorded before. It's also astounding that any trio could successfully perform and record 50 tracks in four consecutive days. The trio's feat brings to mind the Miles Davis Quintet's two marathon sessions, which produced four albums in the '50s.

But thanks to the combined expertise of the trio, a feat like this was possible. Each musician produces one gratifying performance after another. Higgins' stylish phrasing and tender swing, Leonhart's expressive bass, and Taylor's solid support all add together to an extremely enjoyable listening experience. If you're into refined piano trio music, then you'll love this series!
