Venus Masterpiece Collection Limited Edition 180g Vinyl Double LP!

Standards by Request -1st Day and - 2nd Day are a pair of solo piano albums by Eddie Higgins (1932–2009) that include a collection of standards requested by readers of Swing Journal. Forty of the top requests were given to Higgins and the plan was to record material for only one album. However, after recording 15 tracks on the first day—an extraordinary feat in itself—Higgins wanted to continue. So another recording took place the next day where Higgins recorded another 15 tracks.

No music sheets were involved. Higgins was so talented as a pianist that his own arranging and pacing of tunes—as well as its spontaneous arrangement—were highly successful. The producer didn't feel the need to change a thing.

Standards by Request - 1st Day shows why Higgins was such a popular artist. It's all here—the beautiful sound, exquisite touch, stylish swing, and harmonious improvisation. Sit back and enjoy the work of a master!
