Heritage is a studio album by Beninese guitarist Lionel Loueke recorded with Derrick Hodge on bass, Mark Guiliana on drums, Robert Glasper on keyboards, and Gretchen Parlato performing vocals. Blue Note released the album on 5 June 2012.
John Fordham of The Guardian wrote: "There's more to this world-jazz encounter between African and American sounds than its melliflously ethereal, borderline-smooth vocals first suggest." Franz A. Matzner of All About Jazz noted: " What makes Heritage stand out is the natural intimacy of its approach and the organic delivery by a cadre of musicians whose youth, unique talents, and diverse backgrounds place them at the crossroads of today's music." Chris Cooke of KIOS-FM added: "The fusion of West African & jazz musical traditions is impeccably achieved in the latest recording from guitarist Lionel Loueke. "Heritage" creates a sonic landscape that is contemplative and graceful. Steered by the guitar artistry of Loeuke, the warmth of the program is hard to resist."
