We launch 2022 and Series 9 of the WJJ Podcast in conversation with UK saxophonist Dave O'Higgins.
We talk about his journey into music, the influences on route, and the people he's played with and those he continues to create with, having come through the jazz scene of the 1980s playing alongside Mark Nightingale and Gerard Presencer to forming new partnerships today with Rob Luft and leading his own Quartet.
Dave's album recommendations include:
Go! by Dexter Gordon (1962) released on Blue Note
Blue Train by John Coltrane (1958) released on Blue Note
Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin (1971) released on Atlantic
