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