Heads Up (David Newman album)

Heads Up is an album by American saxophonist David Newman recorded in New York City in 1986 and released on the Atlantic label.

Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated: "Although often placed in more tightly arranged settings throughout his career, Newman really excels in a small-group format, where his soulful tones and expertise at jamming over common chord changes are best displayed. This was one of his better sets, even though the album is not very well known".
