The record

Percy and Albert Heath back their brother on this Riverside date, with Freddie Hubbard's trumpet and Julius Watkins's horn filling out a front line built for sharp ensemble writing. Cedar Walton's piano keeps the hard-bop pulse steady while Jimmy Heath's tenor and pen do the heavy lifting.
