Keith Jarret Live at Montreaux My Foolish Heart

Eddie Higgins has been a solid bop pianist for decades, though he seems most appreciated by the folks who run the Japanese label Venus, for whom he has recorded frequently in his golden years. Joined by two-thirds of Phil Woods' longtime rhythm section (Steve Gilmore and Bill Goodwin), along with special guest Scott Hamilton on tenor sax, Higgins explores a dozen ballads, most of which have been favorites of jazz musicians longer than the pianist has been playing professionally…

Coming so quickly after the release of Multitude of Angels and being from the same time as Koln Concert, I initially thought that Keith and ECM were looking at releasing more of his treasure trove of a back catalogue. However, this is a recording from Hi-Hat and an explanatory note says "All our releases feature historical live FM recordings from the '60s, '70s and '80s and although the sound may not (despite extensive professional remastering) always be of the highest quality, we are sure that you will enjoy the musical experience of these wonderful performances".
