Album Notes & Community Reviews

The title of 'Triple Threat' refers to Jimmy Heath's formidable abilities as a composer, arranger, and tenor saxophonist. Leading a stellar sextet that includes Freddie Hubbard and Julius Watkins on French horn, Heath delivers a highly structured yet deeply swinging set. The album effectively bridges the earthy drive of hard bop with the sophisticated compositional ambitions of the emerging post-bop movement.
