Exact reissue, originally released 1976. "The debut recording by the Heath Brothers -- which at the time consisted of Jimmy Heath on tenor, soprano and flute, bassist Percy Heath, drummer Al 'Tootie' Heath and pianist Stanley Cowell -- was one of their best, but also their most obscure release. Made for the soon-defunct Strata East label, this LP has Jimmy Heath's four-part 'Smilin' Billy Suite,' an original apiece from Cowell and the two other brothers (including Percy's 'Watergate Blues'), and Duke Ellington's 'Warm Valley.' High-quality hard bop." --Scott Yanow/AMG
