Reprising a duo that dates back to the 1980’s, Jimmy Heath will take the Blue Note Stage next month with special guest MC Bill Cosby joining him for opening night. Heath performed on The Cosby Show in 1985, and has since worked with the famous comedian several times throughout his career. Heath will lead a big band on tenor and soprano saxophone for two sets a night from Feb. 2 through Feb. 7. Heath’s memoir, I Walked With Giants, will be released on Jan. 28 by Temple University Press and contains a forward by Cosby.
