About
Albert "Tootie" Heath is the youngest of three powerful jazz brothers from Philadelphia. Along with bassist Percy and saxophonist Jimmy, the Philadelphia raised drummer became a first call player, his playing featured on a wide range of projects, from the tradition of Lester Young and Ben Webster to the abstractions of Anthony Braxton and Roscoe Mitchell.While still a teenager he was backing up visiting New York artists like Lester Young and Thelonious Monk.
