Beskrivelse

Summary: Love Letter is the legendary saxophonist Jimmy Heath's stunningly elegant last testament, a take on seminal ballads. Includes songs written by Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie and Kenny Dorham in addition to original material. Partially recorded in New York in the days preceding his 93rd birthday, Jimmy presided over a brilliant cast of colleagues and friends. The result is pure Heath: polished, inventive, candid, beautiful. Guest artists include Wynton Marsalis, Gregory Porter, and more.

"A masterfully understated and intoxicating album, Love Letter is just the kind of low-key farewell you would expect from Heath and one that holds you in its poignantly romantic swell throughout".

"Elegance in Action" would make an apropos alternate title for Love Letter, the final album released by saxophone great Jimmy Heath, who died at 93 in January. The Philadelphia native's recording career dates back more than seven decades and includes work on more than 100 albums, and he goes out on a ridiculously high note: Heath and a roomful of blue-chip talents deliver a set of ballads that take full advantage of his still-robust playing and unique gifts as a bandleader, composer, and arranger".

"Love Letter, completed just weeks before Jimmy Heath's death in January, represents a significant first: Of the saxophonist's more than 20 albums as a leader, this poignant farewell is his only recording solely consisting of ballads.Throughout the album's eight down-tempos - a selective complement of lesser-known pieces and time-honored standards - Heath reveals a refined emotionality that bebop hubbub seldom allows".
