Jazz Film Series
Brotherly Jazz–The Heath Brothers (DanSun Productions, 2006). Dir Jesse Block. Producer Danny Scher. (70 mins, color, DVD)
In a series of revealing interviews, Brotherly Jazz paints a vivid portrait of Philadelphia’s hard-bopping Heath Brothers; bassist Percy Heath talks about his long tenure with the Modern Jazz Quartet; saxophonist/composer Jimmy Heath discusses his painful past and how he turned his life around; and youngest brother, drummer Al “Tootie” Heath admits that “had it not been for my older brothers, I might have gone astray and become a doctor or lawyer.” The film features selections from a 2004 California concert that marked one of the last times the brothers performed together.
