Music reviews of Thumper
Music Review: Classic "Thumper"
Rating: 5 Stars
I don't know what is a bigger shame, the fact that "The Thumper," Jimmy Heath's debut as a leader, was not made until he was 33 (!), or the fact that so few people know about the merits of this album. Despite the fact that he had recorded in the early 50s which such jazz giants as Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and J.J. Johnson, it took the success of fellow Philadelphians John Coltrane and Benny Golson for Heath to get his own recording contract. But enough venting, let's get to this stunning album. An all-star band of Nat Adderley, Curtis Fuller, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and brother Albert "Tootie" Heath join Jimmy on this 1959 session, that has a similar format to a Blue Mitchell-led session (Blue Soul -- see my review) recorded in the same month as "The Thumper" and also featuring Heath. "The Thumper" consists of nine short songs (the longest logging in at just over 5 1/2 minutes), including five Heath originals, one of which is the definitive version of his classic "For Minors Only." As on "Blue Soul," the other horn players sit out on the ballads, the standards "Don't You Know I Care" and "I Can Make You Love Me," to allow Heath to play with only the rhythm section. This album is a classic hard bop "thumper" that should not be missing from your collection.
