Aloha one of favorite shows ! What aprivilege to see these musicians 💚

[@lpsling]

The master Billy Higgins, both a master drummer and a master human being. I was blessed with his presence on my record in 1986. Billy played from a sense of joy.

Bridgework should have been released on CD long ago. Respect to the great Billy Higgins.

Brother 'Abdullah Kareem (Billy Higgins) used to share his travel stories with me when I was new to Islam as he did here. Raheema'Allah-ameen

[@mobilebar6629]

GREAT!! MY ALL TIME FAVORITE DRUMMER!!

[@chuckmays]

Billy Higgins one of the best that ever did it!

[@vova47]

Because I love music and great people such as Billy Higgins,who contributed so much to it. And where one choses to live has absolutely nothing to do with it.

[@guillermoperezgerman]

Billy's album Soweto, is in my lifelong playlist... he's just one of those musicians that work in an honest, humble and passionate manner that it translated to his music.

[@vova47]

What a great and a humble man ! No wonder everybody loved Billy Higgins. And how beautifully he spoke of his long-time partner Cedar Walton. After so many years together not many people have a lot of good things to say about each other.

[@sanahkadoura]

Wow, that was beautiful.

[@jazz1bro]

This is historical. Thanks for uploading this.

I like Billy's explanation of why he remained "Billy" (and am glad he did). His refutation of pride--of those who take a "more pious than thou" attitude in any religion--is right on. Of all the records he made, the one that stands out for me is "Glass Bead Games." Clifford Jordan reveals his greatness, and Bill Lee (Spike's dad) is so good you wonder if there's a clear-cut genius between father and son. But it's the magic of the whole, sparked by Billy's flame, that's eternal.

the legacy of his kind heart and generous nature has left its footprint on the hearts and minds of people that knew him. but thats not really good writing to say that he left a footprint on anyones heart.. but it just came out like that. i loooove his music!

[@Joe-yi8xj]

Seeing him play in person was like watching an angel or something. Difficult to explain any other way.

[@StiffDogson]

Someone should write Billy´s story, the most versatile drummer in jazz history. His story should be told!!!

[@magovenor]

He befriended me when I was new to Islam , may Allah have mercy on him-ameen.

[@MrOtaka]

ye this is cool but when and where?

[@najidrum]

Where do i watch the whole thing

[@starlady_media]

That’s all we have. Thank you

[@lionelroach]

does anyone know the lineup, from left to right?

[@drummer78]

Cool...what year is this from? Must have been shortly before his death.

[@vova47]

Must be 1996, he´d just turned 60 He died in 2001.( And the world is poorer for it)

[@alandsouzab12]

I wish the 65% of muslims watched this man speak and listen to what he says about music! Music isn't HARRAMM!!
