Higgins appears on dozens of albums, but with his first solo CD his own ideas have become a force to be reckoned with. In The Bywater is named after the neighborhood in which the cd was recorded, one of the most historic in New Orleans. Just down the Mississippi River from the French Quarter, Bywater’s colorful, diverse history seeps through into the sounds contained on the disc.

Higgins is joined by many of his NOLA compatriots here, including sibling keyboard and sax players (Andy and Scott) with the impossibly Cajun surname of Bourgeois. Also featured on the album are DDBB guitar craftsman Jamie McLean, trombonist Sammy Williams, bassist Calvin Turner ( Jason Crosby , Marc Broussard), and noted funk guitarist Renard Poche. Together they display the stuff that makes New Orleans music…
