Malky Higgins at Beaches Jazz. Distant memories.
His trumpet has been silenced 9 years ago. Glasgowian Malcolm Higgins called Toronto his home for big part of his life. First he toured Europe with military band and later with Clyde Valley Stompers until he immigrated to Canada. Here he played trumpet and sung in several bands like Bourbon Street Buskers (gone), and the Hot Five Jazzmakers (very much alive). Here he is with Downtown Dixieland at Beaches Jazz with vocalist Myrna Van Weerdenburg. Their duets were not very romantic, as Myrna husband Nick plays clarinet in the band, but always funny, as they played of each other. I just came across this photo and decided to remember him as I am missing the Beaches Jazz (cancelled) and all the fun. Malcolm died in July 25, 2011. Harris Mark Lusher is on guitar.
