Jerusalem Post – Jan 17, 2008
Some jazz musicians like legendary saxophonist John Coltrane ventured into freer-form avant garde jazz in the Sixties.

Some argue that jazz should move with the times but that’s not a mindset to which Higgins subscribes. “I don’t like the more contemporary jazz music but that’s okay.
