I Walked with Giants: The Autobigraphy of Jimmy Heath

Jimmy Heath

In conversation with co-author Joseph McLaren

A National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master and three-time Grammy Award nominee, Jimmy Heath has performed on more than 125 albums and written more than 100 compositions, including the jazz classics “Gemini,” “Gingerbread Boy,” and “CTA.” Raised in Philadelphia, he formed the legendary Heath Brothers Band with his older brother Percy and younger brother Tootie. During his now more than 60-year career, Heath has performed with many jazz giants, including John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Dizzy Gillespie, who said of Heath, “All I can say is, if you know Jimmy Heath, you know Bop.” By turns witty and touching, Heath's candid new autobiography reveals what it was like to spend a life in jazz.
