Eddie Higgins - Time On My Hands

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album of solo piano performances would be one of the 10 CD's I would save if the house was burning down. Higgins' play is impeccable on all tracks. There is a smoothness and elegance in his play that is, quite simply, extraordinary. The piano and acoustics that you hear in this album are equally extraordinary - you would swear you were in a cathedral. Eddie's skills have been honed for over 50 years as a performer and what you are hearing now is perfection."

One of the finest solo jazz recordings

"One of the very best solo piano CD's--ever, truly. With amazing clarity, Eddie recorded this masterpiece on a 9 foot Baldwin SD-10, and the music is virtually perfect. Playing uplifting, mostly relaxing, gorgeous renditions of standards and lesser known treasures, the tunes unfold naturally, beautifully, seemingly effortlessly, and with wonderful sophistication under his hands. It's tough to pick highlights here, though I find his version of Stairway to the Stars to be especially remarkable, with the glorious textures, colors and chording Mr. H employs. This disc is a sumptuous and satisfying 14 course meal here--great great stuff."
