Review by Scott Yanow
Unlike some of his other Riverside recordings, the accent on this Jimmy
Heath CD reissue is very much on his tenor playing (rather than his
arrangements).
Heath is in excellent form with a quintet that also includes pianist
Wynton Kelly, guitarist Kenny Burrell, bassist Paul Chambers, and
drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath. The instantly recognizable hard bop
saxophonist performs four standards and three of his own compositions,
including the original versions of "Gingerbread Boy" and "Project S."
It's a good example of his playing talents.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
A diferencia de algunas de sus otras grabaciones de Riverside, el acento
en la reedición de este CD de Jimmy Heath está en su interpretación de
tenor (más que en sus arreglos).
Heath está en excelente forma con un quinteto que también incluye al
pianista Wynton Kelly, al guitarrista Kenny Burrell, al bajista Paul
Chambers y al baterista Albert "Tootie" Heath. El reconocido saxofonista
de hard bop interpreta cuatro estándares y tres de sus propias
composiciones, incluyendo las versiones originales de "Gingerbread Boy" y
"Project S.". Es un buen ejemplo de su talento como músico.
