SWEET BILLY X

two absolute monsters of subtlety. the way they ride those moments with their ears so wide open. billy higgins' passing was a huge loss for humanity. but, here and in so many touches to skin and metal he teaches us how to be honest, how to pour out just enough and how to scoop up just enough to make the oceans of the heart right. seeing this is blessing, friends.

mr. billy higgins. always a bright light. smilin' billy. when he'd walk through leimert park he'd bring the light. show up at the world stage any time of day or nite and he'd play. one time i was playing alto-clarinet at the world stage by myself for several hours. then billy walked in and we played a duet for about 20 minutes. man, listen: the feeling. this cat just fills up with warmth the support, love and encouragement. really he is an embodiment of joy.

Beautiful stuff. Never get enough of either of these guys.Caught Charles solo years ago at Grace Cathedral, I believe. Just magic!

These Masters are super comfy in their sweatpants. No more shirts and ties for them.

I guess you could contact NBC Nightly News archives. It was on a day or two later when they featured Christopher Holiday, then a 14 year old sax prodigy who sounded like Charlie Parker. I caught the tale end of the program with Billy Higgins smiling, and swinging away. Or maybe you could could contact Christopher Holiday. Anyway, I'm sure it exists somewhere...

Well shit where is that footage? I'd love to see that.. Just to see Higgins and Medeski together would be something else.
