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. ~ Scott Yanow
