Hi Scotswanderer....Malky was my dad, I am his oldest daughter Janice....if memory serves, your dad died suddenly, and way too young...my dad walked about in a daze when he heard...

....but as for now?....they're back playing together again...can you just imagine what that band sounds like?...

R.I.P. Malcolm Higgins, my cousin and pal of 60+ years, who passed away in Toronto tonight. A disciple of the great Louis Armstrong, Malky started with the Clyde Valley Stompers then in Canada and around the globe. He returned to the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland every summer as a featured soloist and guest artist. Here's a sample of the great man 'imself, here is Malky as we all knew him...Sleep in peace, cuz.

I just came upon this by accident, whilst surfing trad jazz tunes on Youtube. Magic! My Dad, Alex Adam,(drummer) played with Malky back in the 50s & 60s with the Clyde Valley Stompers and Jim McHarg's Scotsville Jazz Band. I remember Malky, (he just looks the same in this video!) and I went to see him in some club in Toronto, the 1st time I went to Canada @ 1977. Great music. Thanks, Alex.

That is indeed Rainer Hunck. Bass was his first instrument.

Everyone does look so different - that's what twenty years will do Colin!
