Dave & Judith O'Higgins
hard bop post-bop contemporary jazz
Influences: John Coltrane, Joe Henderson, Johnny Griffin
Dave O'Higgins plays tenor saxophone with a personal, melodically inventive sound rooted in the neo-bop tradition, drawing on Parker, Gordon, Coltrane and Henderson. Co-leading His'n'Hers with his wife Judith, he delivers tough, swinging tenor-to-tenor battles in the spirit of Johnny Griffin and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. He is a former sideman to Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra, a long-serving bandleader with the BBC Big Band and Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra, and a respected educator at Jazz School UK.
