With his delicately soulful tone and refined ear for lyrical, hard-swinging bop, tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath helped shepherd modern jazz into the 21st century. Initially emerging as a member of Dizzy Gillespie's big band in the 1940s, Heath (then known as "Little Bird" after his idol Charlie "Yardbird" Parker) would establish his reputation as gifted improviser and composer, working with innovators like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Milt Jackson. He came to his greatest acclaim in the late '50s, penning a bevy of compositions like "C.T.A.," "Gingerbread Boy," and "For Minors Only," many of which would become jazz standards. His early Riverside albums, including 1959's The Thumper, 1962's Triple Threat, and 1964's On the Trail, are the epitome of hard bop, and many of the albums he contributed to are classics. He recorded for such varied labels as Strata East, Muse, and Columbia, working with his siblings, bassist Percy Heath and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath, as the Heath Brothers, and collaborating with boundary-pushing stylists like Charles Tolliver, Stanley Cowell, and Art Farmer. Along with three Grammy nominations, including for 1994's Little Man, Big Band, Heath was also a 2003 NEA Jazz Master who dedicated much of his career to teaching, working at the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College, and helping to oversee the Louis Armstrong Archives. Still, performing remained his passion and he continued to work throughout his later years, often playing alongside younger musicians, including Roy Hargrove on his 2012 85th birthday celebration Togetherness: Live at the Blue Note, and Wynton Marsalis and Cecile McLorin Salvant on 2020's Love Letter.
