Here is the second of jazz journalist and radio host Ken Dryden’s conversations with Jimmy Heath (1926-2020). I will be publishing the earlier one soon. This telephone interview took place on September 6, 2011. Throughout, Jimmy focuses on the fact that will be 85 years old the next month, and that his career is going through what he calls a “remix”—that is, a lot of activity and new directions. At the very beginning, after Ken reminds him that they last spoke in 2005—which we will hear soon—they discuss Jimmy’s recent and ongoing projects, concerts, recordings, and compositions.
