Lee Morgan - The Rumproller
After 1964's The Sidewinder (which I thought I'd featured, but can't find) was a success (Blue Note's biggest), you can't blame a guy for bringing the guys into the studio in 1965 to record The Rumproller, a quick follow-up in similar style...with similarly fun results.
With Joe Henderson (tenor), Ronnie Mathews (piano), Victor Sproles (bass), and Billy Higgins (drums).

I've missed out on knowing, who Billy Higgins († 2001) was for almost 60 years, until last week. So in the spirit of best wishes for 2026:

Dance of the Clones - Billy Higgins
by jazznik2 on YouTube
No, it's the drummer. What an elegant, excellent, well-versed & melodicly playing rhythmicist.
I've watched all those otherwise non-crediting YT videos already, along the lines of "Extended Drum Solo".
What's your album recommendation for when Mr. Higgins wasn't just featured as a side man?
The more experimental, the more sound painting, the better for me.
Thank you in advance.
@Jazz chat. Nice! #drums #BillyHiggins @Experimental Music @GreenAir -

Lee Morgan - Cornbread
Given this was recorded in '65, it starts off sounding more "late 60s" to me, for some reason.
Morgan, here, is joined by Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Herbie Hancock (piano), Jackie McLean (alto sax), Larry Ridley (bass), and Billy Higgins (drums). The set is four Morgan tunes and one standard (Ill Wind). Ceora is, indeed, a standout.

Hank Mobley - Third Season
Yet another one of those “recorded in 1967 but released years later” Blue Note albums, this strong set by Mobley, Lee Morgan (trumpet), Cedar Walton (piano), Billy Higgins (drums), Walter Booker (bass), Sonny Greenwich (guitar), and James Spaulding (alto) is well worth seeking out.
I’m not sure the last track works, but the rest is a very enjoyable, swinging hard bop set.

Donald Byrd - Royal Flush
I guess it's 1961-day here.
An enjoyable hard bop session, and Herbie Hancock's Blue Note debut, accompanying Byrd (trumpet), Butch Warren (bass), Billy Higgins (drums), and Pepper Adams (sax).
Nice, un-limited remaster has that distinct RvG sound (including putting Hancock's piano in a cardboard box).

The Descendants of Mike and Phoebe - "A Spirit Speaks" (1974)
This album features siblings Bill Lee (bass), Consuela Lee Moorhead (piano), Grace Lee Mims (vocal), and Cliff Lee (fluegelhorn). The group was named after slave ancestors of the Lee family. This is an extraordinary record and one of the gems of the #StrataEast catalog.

Milt Jackson - At the Kosei Nenkin
1976 live album on Pablo, recorded in Japan, playing a swinging set with Ray Brown (bass), Teddy Edwards (sax), Cedar Walton (keys), and Billy Higgins (drums).
Japanese pressing retains most of the Pablo style, but without the huge Pablo Live top.
Interesting to note that Japanese gatefolds always come with the first LP in the 2nd (back) location.

Archie Shepp - "Attica Blues" (1972)
Fabulous reissue from #ImpulseRecords The sound of this lp is so much richer and deep than any digital version I've heard. A+
So many great musicians on this, including Shankar of #ECMRecords fame on violin, which would have made this possibly his earliest appearance on a recording.
