Jimmy Heath • Love And Understanding

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
This is one of Jimmy Heath's more unusual and versatile records, and fortunately it has been reissued on CD. Heath switches between tenor, soprano and flute on a diverse program (five originals plus Duke Ellington's "In a Sentimental Mood") that ranges from hard bop to light funk and R&Bish jazz. Heath's sidemen (trombonist Curtis Fuller, cellist Bernard Fennell, keyboardist Stanley Cowell, electric bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Billy Higgins) sound quite inspired by the material and Heath plays at his most inventive throughout the underrated set.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Este es uno de los discos más inusuales y versátiles de Jimmy Heath, y afortunadamente ha sido reeditado en CD. Heath cambia entre tenor, soprano y flauta en un programa diverso (cinco originales más "In a Sentimental Mood" de Duke Ellington) que va desde el hard bop al funk ligero y el jazz R&Bish. Los músicos de acompañamiento de Heath (el trombonista Curtis Fuller, el violonchelista Bernard Fennell, el teclista Stanley Cowell, el bajista eléctrico Bob Cranshaw y el batería Billy Higgins) suenan bastante inspirados con el material y Heath toca en su momento más inventivo a lo largo de este infravalorado conjunto.
