Jimmy Heath - Sax (Tenor), Saxophone
Albert "Tootie" Heath - Drums
Kenny Burrell - Guitar
Paul Chambers - Bass
Wynton Kelly - Piano
The last of tenor saxophonist/composer/arranger Jimmy Heath's six albums for Riverside, On the Trail presents him in the all-star company of pianist Wynton Kelly, guitarist Kenny Burrell, bassist Paul Chambers, and younger brother Albert "Tootie" Heath on drums. Jimmy's primary role here, Dan Morgenstern observes in the liner notes, "is that of a soloist of uncommon warmth and fluency, but his arranger's sense of balance and proportion also makes itself felt." Highlights of this Orrin Keepnews-produced session include the saxophonist's own "Gingerbread Boy" (a minor blues that soon became a staple of the Miles Davis repertoire) and a distinctively loping arrangement of "On the Trail" from Ferde Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite.
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.

The middle of the three Heath Brothers, Jimmy Heath has a distinctive sound on tenor, is a fluid player on soprano and flute, and a very talented arranger/composer whose originals include "C.T.A." and "Gingerbread Boy." He was originally an altoist, playing with Howard McGhee during 1947-1948 and the Dizzy Gillespie big band (1949-1950). Called "Little Bird" because of the similarity in his playing to Charlie Parker, Heath switched to tenor in the early '50s. Although out of action for a few years due to "personal problems," Heath wrote for Chet Baker and Art Blakey during 1956-1957. Back in action in 1959, he worked with Miles Davis briefly that year, in addition to Kenny Dorham and Gil Evans, and started a string of impressive recordings for Riverside. In the 1960s, Heath frequently teamed up with Milt Jackson and Art Farmer, and he also worked as an educator and a freelance arranger. During 1975-1982, Jimmy Heath teamed up with brothers Percy and Tootie in the Heath Brothers, and since then has remained active as a saxophonist and writer. In addition to his earlier Riverside dates, Jimmy Heath has recorded as a leader for Cobblestone, Muse, Xanadu, Landmark, and Verve.
