爱德华·海登·希金斯1932年2月21日在美国马萨诸塞州的剑桥降生。童年一直由他的母亲教育他。大学时，希金斯在芝加哥的夜总会里演奏钢琴。有时他领导他自己的三重奏组合，但是他有时也和包括艾尔·格雷，科尔曼·霍金斯，弗雷迪·哈伯德等在内的知名艺术家合作演出。虽然他的曲目有折衷的感觉，但是希金斯的风格承载着跳舞乐队时代一些艺术家的明显痕迹。他善于独奏也善于伴奏，他常常与他的歌手妻子梅雷迪思·丹布罗西奥合作演出。by Scott YanowA solid bop-based pianist, Eddie Higgins has never become a major name, but he has been well-respected by his fellow musicians for decades. After growing up in New England, he moved to Chicago, where he played in all types of situations before settling in to a long stint as the leader of the house trio at the London House (1957-1969). Higgins moved back to Massachusetts in 1970 and went on to freelance, often accompanying his wife, vocalist Meredith D'Ambrosio, and appearing at jazz parties and festivals. Eddie Higgins has led sessions of his own for Replica (1958), Vee-Jay (1960), Atlantic, and Sunnyside; back in 1960, he recorded as a sideman for Vee-Jay with Lee Morgan and Wayne Shorter.
