Rezension zu „I Walked with Giants: The Autobiography of Jimmy Heath “
"Heath, with McLaren tells a life story that is inspiring and thoroughly enjoyable... Beyond Heath's storytelling, the book is interwoven with comments from a number of acquaintances (mostly musicians), which helps keep the narrative moving. Verdict: This is an entirely engaging and thoughtful autobiography from one of jazz's true treasures. This richly told saga is highly recommended." Library Journal, 1st Nov 2009 "Heath's milestone is the release of his humorous and poignant autobiography...the compelling story of a musician who began his career at the height of the bebop era... This book ranks up there with some of the best jazz autobiographies ever written, such as Duke Ellington's Music Is my Mistress and Dizzy Gillespie's To Be or Not to Bop. It's a superb story of a great musician and the times he's lived through." - The Wire May 2010
