Rezensionen

These two albums, »The Quota« and »Triple Threat« by the Jimmy Heath sextet, present the Philadelphia brothers-in-arms in a series of particularly impressive blowing sessions, thanks not only to the quality of the soloists, but also to the framework created by Heath's fine arrangements. There is a crisp, clean ensemble blend throughout, and Heath's loose, flowing scoring bring a sense of order for the wealth of good-to-excellent solo work. The three horns deliver admirably on both albums. Jimmy with his strong, tough-playing tenor, is imaginative and swinging; and Julius Watkins and Freddie Hubbard, both top-rank men, are consistently interesting and entertaining. Watkins is a very effective performer, contributing notably in the ensemble, and Hubbard, especially, demonstrates deftly why he walked away with the 1961 critics poll citation as new-star trumpeter. Finally, Walton, Percy and Albert Heath are everything one could wish for in an assured and powerful rhythm section.
