THIS LOVE STORY ABOUT AMERICAS CLASSICAL MUSIC FROM ONE WHO HELPED TO CREATE IT IS HEAVEN SENT ~ I THANK THE BEAUTIFUL ANGLES FOR THE DIVINE INSTRUMENTS AND GIVING US THESE GENIUS SOULS TO SHOW US THE WAY, WITH THEIR BEAUTIFUL SOUND, LIGHT, AND GOD INSPIRED INTELLIGENCE ~ BARAKA BASHAD MAY THE BLESSINGS BE ~ HU SOUND
I wish John Coltrane had lived this long, could you believe if he did? Man, a lot of jazz musicians died too young. Bird, Trane, Clifford Brown, heck even Miles Davis died relatively young. I miss those guys....
Bill Evans, Scott LaFaro, Michael Brecker, Lee Morgan, Bix Beiderbecke, Fats Waller, Art Tatum, Nat King Cole, Thelonious Monk, Stan Getz, Chet Baker, Art Pepper, Grant Green, Woody Shaw.
Coltrane would still be practicing. He wasn't a talker. I think everything he wanted us to know is in his music. But yes their early passing left so much brilliance on the table, untapped. We are certainly the poorer for it.
That's the best interview I can remember seeing. I was in the elevator in the Philly airport with the Heath brothers in '82. They were really sweet cats.
I was at the all str gig he's talking about at the Blue Note - it was incredible. Kenny Barron is the only remaining member of that lineup. RIP to the greats who were on that stage - Diz, Moody, Elvin, Cranshaw and Jimmy!
I'm a SouthAfrica but I used to listen a lot to Jimmy Heath, more especially with his brothers, and I always loved his sound phrasing on saxophone. Now this is a great documentary and have learned a lot from this living legend. Thanks.
Thanks for that clip! Jimmy has so much to say! - "Lines & Spaces!!!"- and I´m so happy he mentioned beside all the other heroes my favorite bassist Sam Jones and the "smiling buddha" Billy Higgins
the heath brothers are the first family of jazz,no question about it. what other family in music has three professional musicans? who have played with all of the jazz masters.they are the best period.
wonderful interview. I wish he had explained what it was about Sam Jones' brand of 'walking ' that made him stand out. I agree with his thoughts about Jones, but all great bass players 'walk' so what was that special quality that Sam Jones had? maybe it's something that words can't describe.
Oh God give the Organizers the Inspiration to give a second Mic to the Questioner ... does not need much intelligence...but a little love for the whole Scenario...in front of a high professionel Musician Jazz Great Documentary .

What a great man and fabulous discussion, thank you Jimmy Heath!
Thanks Jimmy for everything 🙏
Bret, thanks for documenting the great jazz artists Jimmy Heath, Sonny Rollins and Bennie Maupin and more.
So glad this was filmed and those of us who weren't there can enjoy it now.
