Jimmy Heath • The Time And The Place

 

Although this 1994 CD looks like a reissue, the music was actually released for the first time 20 years after it was recorded. Jimmy Heath, who is heard here on tenor, alto, soprano and flute, played at his prime throughout the 1970's although he tended to be somewhat overlooked in popularity polls. Heath was stretching himself during the era as can be heard on these obscure pieces; five of his originals plus Kenny Dorham's "No End." Although essentially bop-based, Heath was open to the influences of the avant-garde and fusion and, with a flexible group also including trombonist Curtis Fuller, guitarist Pat Martino, pianist Stanley Cowell, bassist Sam Jones, drummer Billy Higgins and percussionist Mtume, Jimmy Heath consistently takes adventurous yet logical solos. Worth checking out.

Aunque este CD de 1994 parece una reedición, la música se publicó por primera vez veinte años después de su grabación. Jimmy Heath, al que se escucha aquí con el saxo tenor, alto, soprano y la flauta, tocó en su mejor momento a lo largo de la década de 1970, aunque tendía a pasar algo desapercibido en las encuestas de popularidad. Heath se estaba superando a sí mismo durante esa época, como se puede escuchar en estas piezas poco conocidas: cinco de sus composiciones originales más «No End» de Kenny Dorham. Aunque esencialmente basado en el bop, Heath estaba abierto a las influencias de la vanguardia y la fusión y, con un grupo flexible que también incluía al trombonista Curtis Fuller, al guitarrista Pat Martino, al pianista Stanley Cowell, al bajista Sam Jones, al baterista Billy Higgins y al percusionista Mtume, Jimmy Heath siempre interpreta solos atrevidos pero lógicos. Vale la pena echarle un vistazo.
