Soulero is the 1966 jazz album by the Eddie Higgins Trio, representing some of the pianist’s finest early work. Recorded in 1965 at Universal Recording Corporation in Chicago, it captures the trio’s refined bop and mainstream jazz style.

Reception.

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow gave the album 3 stars and wrote:”Pianist Eddie Higgins’ third album as a leader features his regular Chicago-based trio of the era, a group with bassist Richard Evans and drummer Marshall Thompson. A mainstream pianist with an open ear toward more modern harmonies, Higgins explores such numbers as his “Tango Africaine,” “Django,” “Beautiful Dreamer,” and “Makin’ Whoopee” with equal sensitivity and plenty of swing. This worthy LP, unfortunately, will be difficult to find.”

Personnel:
Eddie Higgins – piano
