Quite nicely done, it features both Jimmy's voice and contributions by his family, friends, and colleagues who give general appreciations as well as recollections of specific events.
The earlier parts are best. The last section flags noticeably, become a litany of "and then this commissioned work was performed" over and over.

Brilliant first-person insight into the golden era of modern jazz. The testimonials by Heath's peers are worth the price of admission.
