Released in 1976 on the pioneering Strata-East Records label, the Heath Brothers' album "Marchin' On!" is a masterful fusion of tradition and innovation that captured the spirit of the changing jazz scene. With the lyrical brilliance of Jimmy Heath on saxophone, the grounding presence of Percy Heath on bass and the dynamic rhythm of Albert "Tootie" Heath on drums - along with pianist and label co-founder Stanley Cowell - the album bridged the gap between the hard bop roots of the 1950s and the spiritual and socially conscious music of the 1970s.
The Heath Brothers' legacy lies in their exceptional musicianship and commitment to jazz as a vehicle for personal expression and cultural dialog. This album is a milestone in their impressive career and will have a lasting impact on future generations of artists. Now, for the first time, hear this album in its purest form as a digital release, remastered from the original analog tapes in the highest resolution.
