The Heath Brothers is an American jazz group, formed in 1975 in Philadelphia, by the brothers Jimmy (tenor saxophone), Percy (bass), and Albert "Tootie" Heath (drums); and pianist Stanley Cowell. Tony Purrone (guitar) and Jimmy's son Mtume (percussion) joined the group later. Tootie left in 1978, and was replaced by Akira Tana for a short period before returning in 1982. They also added other sidemen for some of their recording dates.〔(Allmusic )〕 The group still exists with just two of the brothers, Jimmy and Tootie, and additional sidemen as needed. The DVD, ''Brotherly Jazz: The Heath Brothers'', recorded in 2004, shortly before Percy Heath's death, was one of the last times the three brothers played together, and chronicled the Heath Brothers' personal lives as well as socio-political issues many jazz musicians dealt with in the later 20th century, including jail, drugs, discrimination and segregation.〔Ken Dryden, ("Brotherly Jazz" (review) ), All About Jazz, May 6, 2007.〕 The 2009 CD ''Endurance'' was the first without Percy, and features seven original numbers by Jimmy, including "From a Lonely Bass", composed in memory of his late brother.〔Larry Taylor, ("Heath Brothers: Endurance (2009)" ), All About Jazz, October 15, 2009.〕 ==Discography== * ''Marchin' On'' (1975) (Strata-East Records) * ''Passin' Thru'' (1978) (Columbia Records) * ''Live at the Public Theatre'' (1979) (Columbia Records) * ''In Motion'' (1979) (Columbia Records) * ''Expressions of Life'' (1980) (Columbia Records) * ''Brotherly Love'' (1981) (Antilles Records) * ''Brothers and Others'' (1981) (Antilles Records) * ''As We Were Saying'' (1997) (Concord Records)〔Douglas Payne, ("The Heath Brothers: As We Were Saying..." ), All About Jazz, September 1, 1997.〕 * ''Jazz Family'' (1998) (Concord Records)〔Jim Santella, ("The Heath Brothers: Jazz Family" (review) ), All About Jazz, December 1, 1998.〕 * ''Endurance'' (2009) (Jazz Legacy Productions)〔(The Heath Brothers, ''Endurance'' ), Jazz Legacy Productions.〕〔Joel Roberts, ("Heath Brothers: Endurance (2009)" ), All About Jazz, November 11, 2009.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heath Brothers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
