JazzWatch #11 | Jimmy Heath

Today, we talk to legendary tenor and soprano saxophonist, Jimmy Heath. Jimmy is a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master who recently turned 88, and is in better form than ever. He recently released a brand new big band recording called, “Togetherness,” his first live big band CD, recorded at the Blue Note. For this interview, Jimmy preferred to focus on his newer material, but he eventually discussed a few memories from his legendary career.

His autobiography, called, I Walked with Giants, is a great read.
