Edward Haydn Higgins born on February 21, 1932 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.He began playing the
piano at age 4. His mother was a classical pianist, his father an educator at Andover Prep.
From age six to fourteen, Eddie had a professional piano teacher. When he was fourteen, he
heard a neighbor playing Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker records. From then on he was
inspired to play jazz. At age 18, during the summer of 1950, Eddie was playing with Serge
Chaloff, baritone sax great. While in the service, stationed at For Dix, NJ in 1955, he was
recruited to enter an All-Army Talent Show. He got to the national finals in San Juan, Puerto
Rico, then -- alas! -- lost to an accordion player performing "Lady of Spain." The rendition
that got him all the way to the finals was his masterful boogie-woogie arrangement of "St.
Louis Blues," the W.C. Handy classic.
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.
