	Whitworth Press Release - Jimmy Heath Concert
		Heath, along with his brothers and fellow musicians Percy and Albert "Tootie" Heath, hails from Philadelphia, where he began his music career just out of high school in the late 1940s as an alto saxophonist.
		Heath's career highlights include Grammy nominations in 1980 for the Heath Brothers' "Live at the Public Theatre" (Columbia Records) and in 1993 for "Little Man Big Band" (Verve Records), which was produced by Bill Cosby.
		For Heath, music is as vital and energizing in the 21st century as it was throughout the last half of the 20th.

	Jazz \| All About Jazz
		Both older Heath brothers were longtime associates of Dizzy Gillespie, whose big band in the '40s served as a nurturing ground for its rhythm section, which would break off and become what would be known as the Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ).
		The Heaths hope to go back into the studio for what would be their tenth recording as the Heath Brothers (the two most recent being on Concord Records), and though Jimmy was not as enthusiastic as "Tootie" and myself, the concept of just an all-Heath trio session is sure an enticing one.
		Whatever the case may be, the Heath Brothers' continuous creativity and obvious link to the great tradition we all hold dear to our hearts and ears is heaven-sent.
