For much of 1948—when bebop's popularity was reachng its zenith—American musicians were prohibited by their union from recording. That year, Heath commissioned Tadd Dameron to write arrangements for his proficient and brassy band. Dameron scored a batch for Heath—including his own Ladybird, Per Husby's Lyonia, Hoagy Carmichael's The Nearness of You, Roy Krall's Euphoria and his own So Easy.

These five arrangements wound up on an album recorded in London in 1949 and released there on an early British 10-inch LP. To create a concert atmosphere, Heath's theme—Listen to My Music—opened and closed the album.

The arrangements here are noble and cleverly comfortable in the bop vernacular. They also are fairly difficult, with sections constantly moving in and out and intersecting every now and then with the song's melody. Interestingly, So Easy is virtually the same arrangement that Dameron wrote for Artie Shaw's 1949 band—but taken at a faster and more engaging clip.

This album shows off the Heath orchestra's crisp style and its ability to play big-band bop. Britain was devistated economically after World War II and it would take unitl the 1960s before U.K. hounseholds began to recover financially. Throughout the '50s, Heath kept the the British in good spirits, proving that the country's answer to the Miller and Kenton bands could keep up.
