Our Man Higgins, The View from the Back of the Band Series

Описание: In this installment of the View from the Back of the Band series, we have the Lee Morgan tune Our Man Higgins.
This is an up-tempo 12-bar blues form based on a whole tone scale.
It was written for the great drummer Billy Higgins, and he plays it much better than I do on the Lee Morgan record, Cornbread. It's a classic Blue Note recording and I suggest you check it out.
Personnel:
Ziad Rabie Tenor Sax, Sean Higgins Piano, Andre Ferrari Guitar, Ron Brendle Bass, and Rick Dior, Drums
These gigs consist of one very short rehearsal right before the concert. To do these types of one-and-done gigs, you must have the interpretive skills to read a basic lead sheet, as I show on the screen here.
Please excuse the harsh audio, as this was recorded on a few cell phones. You may want to listen with headphones to hear the audio more clearly.
