Justin V Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Happy Birthday, Mr. Heath! I saw him play twice in Detroit last month, with his quartet plus Robert Gambarini and guesting with Randy Weston's big band, and he sounded great, as always. I also saw him do a talk with Randy Weston, which was a fascinating and often humorous discussion. Jimmy Heath is a national treasure.

mr jazz Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 A recent concert with his big band revealed an artist still full of life and a master composer. I got him to sign his autobiography and pose for a pic afterwards. Happy birthday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought the book with me but there was no chance to ask him to autograph it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, "Love and Understanding", and the delayed-release "Time and the Place" were an amazing run of early 70's masterly recordings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felser Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 I saw him once, in the 70's. With the Heath Bros. (Tony Purrone version) at the Empty Foxhole Cafe in the basement of St. Mary's church on Penn's campus. Got to talk to him a little before the show, very kind man from what I remember. https://phillyjazz.us/2015/03/08/genos-empty-foxhole-2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I saw Jimmy was in New York at "Dizzy's Club Coca Cola" 6 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
