Jimmy Heath Answers Student Questions

[@asellape9270]

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....

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

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.

Wow. This is a treasure! Jimmy is so charismatic and his stories are inspiring!

[@JazzVideoGuy]

He was a rather inspiring fellow

[@skimanization]

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.

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Blessings to you!

[@cheikgarvey4378]

Tremendous. Simply tremendous.

Great upload!

[@rainerpusch1960]

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

[@nikolaigrut]

That was so good. I saw Jimmy Heath in Stockholm around 1989. Tony Purrone was on guitar. That was great bebop.

[@bluzette5829]

This is a wonderful, wonderful video. Thank you!

[@gerardcaen6672]

Fascinating ! Thanks, JVG !

[@adamrafferty]

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!

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 .

[@jeffreyd700]

11:02 Interesting about that Ding Dong bit, Ernest McCarty said Erroll Garner did the same thing

[@JerryAttric42]

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.

[@slmjkdbtl]

11:09 "they wrote a book about his language" what is that book?

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

Bergonzi is the best

[@JazzVideoGuy]

one of the best
