he has outlived almost all of his peers.

I'm so glad I was born in 1963 knowing Sonny was tearing it up like that back then. What an amazing player!

Better ? Anyone? Don't think so. Feel it. Don't characterize it.

Sound was here before, long before any of us.

It speaks deep from the ones who feel it.

@pickinstone I accidentally posted my response as a new comment. "I was referring to the segment of his solo at 3:03 where his drum solo sounded like the rhythm of the song. Instead of just playing triplets, para-diddles etc.... I agree that really did give a great unique sound. Hope you find some good stuff. by him."

@RevWrona you're talking about the perpetual motion of his solo, instead of playing melodically and leaving space. Just curious, because Higgins does sound unique here and now I wanna search my albums for him as a sideman and give a closer listen. Thanks.

I really liked how Higgens was playing rhythmically during a part of his solo. You didn't hear that too often in jazz drumming.
