1	Jazz Family (1998) more music like this by Heath Brothers With Percy Heath technically in retirement on Long Island, Jimmy Heath freshly retired from Queens College, and Tootie Heath ready for action, the Heath Brothers had the time to quickly follow their first reunion album with another first-rate collection of bop-based small-combo jazz. On "East of the Sun (And West of the Moon)" and "Easy Living," a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.07!
2	Really Big! [Bonus Track] (2007) more music like this by Jimmy Heath Jimmy Heath's first chance to lead a fairly large group, an all-star ten-piece, found him well featured both on tenor and as an arranger/composer. With such colorful players as cornetist Nat Adderley, flugelhornist Clark Terry, altoist Cannonball Adderley, and either Cedar Walton or Tommy Flanagan on piano, Heath introduces a few originals ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $10.44!
3	On the Trail (1964) more music like this by Jimmy Heath 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 ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
4	Triple Threat (1962) more music like this by Jimmy Heath 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 ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
5	The Thumper (1959) more music like this by Jimmy Heath Jimmy Heath at age 33 made his recording debut as a leader on this Riverside session which has been reissued on CD in the OJC series.

6	Jazz at Lincoln Center Presents: The Fire of the Fundamentals (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This CD, which actually features the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra on only two selections, has highlights from a variety of concerts held at Lincoln Center during 1991-1993. A fine octet with clarinetist Michael White, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and pianist Marcus Roberts do an effective re-interpretation of Jelly Roll Morton's "Jungle Blues," ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
7	Nice People (1959) more music like this by Jimmy Heath While far from unknown, sax player Jimmy Heath has had a low profile relative to the excellence and consistency of his writing and playing. This compilation helps correct that imbalance by spotlighting the seminal hard bopper's sessions recorded for Riverside between 1959 and 1964. The tracks cover small and medium group settings. Seven are Heath ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
8	As We Were Saying (1997) more music like this by Heath Brothers During the Modern Jazz Quartet's temporary retirement from 1975-83, bassist Percy Heath teamed up with tenor and soprano great Jimmy Heath and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath (who left after a few years) to form the Heath Brothers. There had been occasional reunions since then, but this is the first record done under the Heath Brothers name in over ... see all copies from $2.05! new only from $2.05!
9	Jam Gems: Live at the Left Bank (2001) more music like this by Freddie Hubbard & Jimmy Heath Recorded "live" at the famous Left Bank ballroom in Baltimore, MD, on June 13th, 1965, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath literally blow the roof off during this jam session.

10	Brotherly Love (1981) more music like this by Heath Brothers By their sixth album, the Heath Brothers (consisting of Jimmy on tenor and soprano, Percy Heath on bass, keyboardist Stanley Cowell, guitarist Tony Purrone and drummer Akira Tana) were sticking to their basic hard bop format, with an occasional poppish tune tossed in to give the group variety and possible commercial potential. This excellent set ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

(1960) more music like this by Jimmy Heath Jimmy Heath's first chance to lead a fairly large group, an all-star ten-piece, found him well featured both on tenor and as an arranger/composer.

14 view cover	New Picture (1985) more music like this by Jimmy Heath Ten years after his most recent set as a leader, Jimmy Heath (heard here on tenor and soprano) finally had another opportunity to lead an album of his own. This date, reissued on CD, finds Heath playing in a largely unchanged style from his earlier days, although some of his freer flights hint slightly at the avant-garde. With strong support given ... see all copies from $16.00!
15 view cover	You or Me (1995) more music like this by Jimmy Heath Jimmy Heath is in top form throughout this quartet session, which took place on the day his elder sister died after a lingering illness. Backed by his brother Albert "Tootie" Heath on drums, guitarist Tony Purrone, and bassist Kiyoshi Kitagawa, the tenor saxophonist revisits his fluid blues "The Quota" (which is very appropriately full of ... see all copies from $17.03! new only from $17.03!
16 view cover	You've Changed (1994) more music like this by Jimmy Heath You've Changed presents journeyman saxophonist Jimmy Heath in an unadorned setting that exhibits his talents in full splendor. Also a noted composer -- three of the pieces here are his -- this session showcases Heath's sound, which is as smoky and sweet as the best whiskey. Heath plays with fluid drive. The composer in him never takes a break as ... see all copies from $18.92! new only from $18.92!

19	Expressions of Life (1980) more music like this by Heath Brothers The Heath Brothers' fourth and final Columbia album has a couple of funky tracks ("Dreamin'" and "Use It, Don't Abuse It") with added personnel, but otherwise features the core of Jimmy Heath on tenor and soprano, bassist Percy Heath doubling on cello, keyboardist Stanley Cowell, guitarist Tony Purrone and drummer Akira Tana. Excellent music ... see all copies from $7.00!
20 view cover	Peer Pleasure (1987) more music like this by Jimmy Heath The most unusual aspect of this CD is that Jimmy Heath, in addition to his usual tenor and soprano, also plays alto (his original instrument) on two of the six numbers.
