Music Review: The remarkable Mr Heath
Rating: 4 Stars
Is this the best Jimmy Heath album? The best is such a difficult term for this artist, who recorded a string of fine Lps including The Thumper, On The Trail, and Swampseed for Riverside in the early 60s. Each one displays his considerable gifts as a composer and arranger. He attracted some of the best musicians of the day and elicited inspired playing from the likes of Freddy Hubbard, Julius Watkins, Cedar Walton and brothers Percy (bass-MJQ) and Albert "Tootie" Heath on this release. The title track is a medium tempo bop number of the "hip" variety, featuring solos by all hands(except the drummer). You could easily envision this composition as a big band number. "Lowland Lullaby" begins life as a jazz waltz before shifting into a straight-ahead solo of warmth, economy and precision. Freddie Hubbard in particular shines on this number. "Thinking of You" by Kalmar and Ruby (orginally composed in 1927 and later translated into a memorable dance number by Fred Astaire in the 1950 film, "Three Little Words") is a vehicle for Jimmy Heath to show how beautifully he can breathe new life into a pre- swing era tune, territory he shares with the likes of his contemporary, Hank Jones. Perhaps the best I can say is that this album displays Jimmy's playing at its peak and is guaranteed not to disappoint lovers of straight ahead jazz. Either this set,The Thumper, or Swampseed make the best introduction to Jimmy Heath's work. The later Big Band sides should be heard after these to gain a full appreciation of this too often neglected master player/composer.
