Eddie Higgins Trio - Again (180g Double Vinyl LP)

Through his prolific work with Venus Records, the late Eddie Higgins solidified his status as one of the most beloved and respected jazz figures in Japan. A veteran pianist who performed and recorded alongside legends like Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, and Wayne Shorter, Higgins was celebrated for his refined touch and an introspective playing style that found narrative depth in every melody.

Again captures Higgins alongside his celebrated trio, featuring the powerhouse rhythm section of bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Ben Riley. Recorded in New York in 1998, the album is a masterful exploration of elegant ballads and bossa nova themes. From the romantic title track to the beautifully interpreted standards that follow, the recording highlights the trio’s sophisticated interplay and the exceptional clarity of Higgins’ lyrical phrasing.

Now reissued for 2026 as part of the prestigious VENUS MASTERPIECE LP COLLECTION - 9, this premium limited edition 180g Double Vinyl LP set brings the full tracklist of the acclaimed long-play CD to a deluxe vinyl format for the first time. Housed in a stunning gatefold jacket with OBI strip, this release ensures that every nuance of the original 1998 New York session is preserved in its entirety without omission.
