Jimmy Heath • Triple Threat

 



Review
by Scott Yanow
Jimmy Heath has long been at least a triple threat as a musician (tenor, flute and soprano), arranger and composer. On this 1998 CD reissue, Heath sticks to tenor, performing "Make Someone Happy" and "The More I See You' while joined by pianist Cedar Walton and his two brothers, bassist Percy Heath and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath. The other five numbers consist of four of his originals (best-known is "Gemini") plus a reworking of the ballad "Goodbye." For these selections, the quartet is augmented by young trumpeter Freddie Hubbard (who takes a few fiery solos) and Julius Watkins on French horn. The arrangements of Heath uplift the straightahead music and make each selection seem a bit special.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Jimmy Heath ha sido durante mucho tiempo una triple amenaza como músico (tenor, flauta y soprano), arreglista y compositor. En esta reedición del CD de 1998, Heath se ciñe al tenor, interpretando "Make Someone Happy" y "The More I See You' mientras se le unen el pianista Cedar Walton y sus dos hermanos, el bajista Percy Heath y el batería Albert "Tootie" Heath. Los otros cinco números consisten en cuatro de sus originales (el más conocido es "Gemini") más una reelaboración de la balada "Goodbye". Para estas selecciones, el cuarteto se ve reforzado por el joven trompetista Freddie Hubbard (que hace algunos solos ardientes) y Julius Watkins en la trompa. Los arreglos de Heath elevan la música directa y hacen que cada selección parezca un poco especial.
