Jimmy Heath Big Band – August 23, 2013
Jimmy Heath Big Band – Marcus Garvey Park - August 23, 2013
As part of the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival, Heath led his big band in a premiere of his extended composition, “Bird is the Word”. And then continued with his brand of modern trad post-bop. Heath gets top shelf players for his ensemble, some still young and in training, and lets ‘em wail! A parade of soloists doing right by the music kept me frantic trying to keep up sketching, no time for color. Lordy!
