The Billy Higgins Legacy Band makes an all-too-rare appearance on the Bird & Beckett stage, this time out featuring the blossoming jazz talents of Rosalind Zhang, a renowned classical cellist, and the fully mature jazz genius of saxophonist Richard Howell, with a bassist to be announced and the amazing drummer Myron Cohen.
Saxophonist Richard Howell has just returned from New York City, having had the honor of sitting in with Ravi Coltane at the famed Blue Note jazz club.
Making her second appearance at Bird & Beckett, cellist Rosalind Zhang, a native of Toronto, Canada, is principal cellist in the New York Concert Orchestra. After completing her academic degrees, Rosie joined the China National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) on their 2017 US Tour, where they performed in Carnegie Hall (New York), Symphony Center (Chicago), Davies Symphony Hall (San Francisco), The Kimmel Center (Philadelphia), Hill Auditorium (Ann Arbor), and Memorial Hall (Chapel Hill). In October 2018, Rosalind performed at the sold-out "Ocean of Dreams" event at the 10,000-seat Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai. Here is video of a 2024 performance of Rosie with the New York Concert Orchestra, playing Elgar's cello concerto: https://www.youtube.com/watch
Drummer Myron Cohen, blessed to have been mentored by the late great Billy Higgins, first at the famed And/Or jazz club on Divisadero Street in the 1980s and again through a formative stretch through Higgins' final years, conceived and formed the Billy Higgins Legacy Band to bring together at any opportunity creators possessing rare talents of collective and individual improvisation, with the ability to "throw down" on the spot.
