He is best known as a bandleader, composer, record producer and educator.
Guitarist Rob Luft co-leads this project. He is an exciting multiple award-winning firebrand blazing a trail at the forefront of the new generation of young jazz musicians.
Joining them are Scott Flanigan from Belfast on organ (also known for his own solo recordings) and American drummer, Rod Youngs (best known for his work with Gil Scott Heron).
The new CD “O’Higgins & Luft Play Monk & Trane” is just released on Ubuntu Music and has been play-listed on Jazz FM. The material is a personal take on themes played originally by Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane.
