Having teamed up on two prior Pacific Jazz recordings, trumpeter Chet Baker & alto saxophonist Art Pepper continued their fruitful collaboration with the supremely swinging 1956 album Picture of Heath (which was originally released as Playboys until Hugh Hefner objected). The sextet for the session was brimming with top talent from the West Coast Jazz scene including tenor saxophonist Phil Urso, pianist Carl Perkins, bassist Curtis Counce, and drummer Larance Marable. A notable feature of the date was its focus on the compositions of saxophonist Jimmy Heath who penned five of the album\u2019s tracks: \u201cPicture of Heath,\u201d \u201cFor Miles and Miles,\u201d \u201cC.T.A.,\u201d \u201cFor Minors Only,\u201d and \u201cResonant Emotions.\u201d The set is rounded out by two of Pepper\u2019s tunes\u2014\u201cMinor-Yours\u201d and \u201cTynan Tyme\u201d\u2014and the playing throughout is unfailingly vibrant with exquisite solos and lively band interplay all of which which makes this a quintessential cool jazz date.<\/p>\n
