Higgs Boson

"Higgs Boson' is the debut from an impressive jazz-crossover composer. Higgs (keyboards) is joined by a number of reputable musicians including Pete Claridge and Chuck Scirocco (guitars), Rob Townsend (sax), Kevin Jeffries (bass) and ace drummer Tom Hooper. All of the instruments are featured heavily, so the album doesn't come across as a keyboardist's project. Penumbra is a cracker, with glorious syncopations, a burning solo from Scirocco and killer drum chops from Hooper. Perpetual Symmetry features some beautiful guitar flourishes from Claridge. Higgs' playing is superb throughout. Highly recommended.
