A limited edition put out by the Museum Of Contempory Art.

The Legendary Drummer Billy Higgins was very instrumental in the organization of the World Famous MOCA Summer Nights Music Series and rumer has it that it was Higgins who chose the material for this CD.

This recording features some of the Legendary Drummers best work and was recorded shortly before his death.

The production work on this CD is increadible.
