For over 60 years, the
legendary Heath Brothers have been synonymous with great jazz.
Endurance is their first CD since the passing of
their beloved brother, legendary bassist Percy Heath.
“The Philly dynasty [of the Heath
Brothers] is what you want to hear—family values with
fire, yet cooler than cool.” — Village Voice
“The Heaths of
Philadelphia are true jazz blue-bloods, [but] it’s
when these elder statesmen get together that they
become rambunctious, playful kids, making mischief in
bebop’s backyard.” — Newsday
“Keeping the
swing faith with a time-honored groove.” — Chicago Tribune
“One looks for
good news anywhere lately, and the bass and
drum-playing Heath Brothers alone—with cleanly
articulated, deep, rich bass notes and an easy, funky
swing—can supply it.”
— Ben Ratliff, New York Times

The Heath
Brothers Quartet performs at concerts, festivals, clubs and
educational venues world-wide. As The New York Times' chief
jazz critic has written, "their sets offer a glimpse of great
experience filtered through great gentleness; they're a real
shot of joy." The quartet was founded in 1976 by Jimmy, Percy
and Albert "Tootie" Heath -- one of the most distinguished
families in jazz. The Heath Brothers have made 7 recordings,
and their latest is due out soon. Percy Heath was the bassist
for the Modern Jazz Quartet for more than 40 years and a NEA
Jazz Master. Since his death in 2005, Jimmy and Tootie have
introduced new songs, while preserving the band's original
trademark of relaxed, funky, swinging bop.
