| | CD Review of Percy Heath - A Love Song on Daddy Jazz Records @ jazzreview.com |
 | | Heath played that first song, “A Love Song,” at Milt Hinton’s funeral, and as a poignant three-minute solo performance, it’s an appropriate choice for introducing the material that follows. |  | | The most varied and compositionally complex track is Heath’s four-part “Suite For Pop,” which moves from mournfulness to the celebration of remembrance and of the soul. |  | | It’s hard to believe that Percy Heath has never recorded as a leader, in spite of the hundreds of albums he has recorded throughout a half-century-plus career in jazz. |

| | Percy Heath A Love Song |
 | | Heath has contributed four of the seven tracks, with one from the late Roland Hanna, one from John Lewis, and a new composition from pianist Jeb Patton. |  | | Of the hundreds of versions of Django that Heath has performed, this one is unique in that it affords him the chance to state the melody on bass followed, at the two minute mark, with Patton's familiar piano intro to the tune. |  | | The title song was performed, unaccompanied, but never recorded, at the funeral of bass legend Milt Hinton and allows Heath the moment of tribute for his old friend and colleague. |

 | | PERCY HEATH: It's gotta be connected for me. I mean the growth of this music from infancy, from the slave house in the fields, the gospel in the church, and the blues...all those ingredients gotta' be in jazz music. |  | | PERCY HEATH: In the recording industry everything that was done by a black person was "race" music. |  | | PERCY HEATH: And the Modern Jazz Quartet was able to pioneer some places where they didn't allow jazz because we were considered chamber music. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Special reports Percy Heath |
 | | The group became Heath's principal employment for the next 22 years, and his accuracy of pitch, sensitivity to dynamics and cool, almost fragile, sound was ideally suited to a band dedicated to making a jazz equivalent of chamber music - even down to the tuxedos. |  | | Heath worked with singer Sarah Vaughan for a while, and formed a brisk, boppish quartet with his brothers and pianist Stanley Cowell. |  | | But if the MJQ did not often require the more dynamic and hard-swinging potential in Heath's playing, bands he recorded with when the quartet was not on tour were frequently the beneficiaries of it. |
