Jimmy Heath Sextet: The Thumper (CD: Riverside- US Import)
Despite early exposure with Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, J.J. Johnson, and Kenny Dorham (see OJCCD-113-2), Jimmy Heath had to wait until he was nearly 33 to make his own recording debut as a leader. The Thumper is that debut; and it reveals both a tenor saxophonist of the unashamedly emotional Philadelphia school (like his hometown friends John Coltrane and Benny Golson) and a composer/arranger who invariably fashions fresh melodic and ensemble creations. With brother Albert "Tootie" Heath on drums and four other all-stars, Jimmy performs a program of five originals (including the classic "For Minors Only") and four complementary pieces that set the pattern for subsequent Riverside albums and the inspired music he continues to create in the Nineties.

Heath Brothers: Endurance (CD: Jazz Legacy)
For over 60 years, the legendary Heath Brothers have been synonymous with great jazz. ‘Endurance’ is their first CD since the passing of their beloved brother, legendary bassist Percy Heath. Between them, tenor saxophonist, composer, and arranger Jimmy Heath and drummer Albert “Tootie” Heath have more than a century in the jazz limelight to their credit. They have played and recorded with a near-endless list of jazz immortals and icons including Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, and many more. This is masterful music from the brothers’ current working quartet that includes two rising young jazz stars: pianist Jeb Patton and bassist David Wong. (Proper Music)
