1961 studio album by Jimmy Heath
The Quota is the third album by saxophonist Jimmy Heath featuring performances recorded in 1961 originally released on the Riverside label.[ 1]
The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer, Leonard Feather , concluded: "All in all, a session that didn't aim too high and managed to hit the target."[ 3] Stephen Cook of AllMusic says, "Jimmy Heath's considerable talents are very evident on this fine hard bop title... The Quota' s strong material, tight arrangements, and thoughtful solos help make this Heath title one of the better hard bop releases available and a must for any jazz collection".[ 2]
