Historic jazz musicians and brothers Jimmy, 84, and Albert "Tootie" Heath, 75, stress the importance of performing in their craft — that as a performance art, jazz is about connecting through music. With The Heath Brothers Quartet, Jimmy and Tootie performed in Rosse Hall on Friday, April 22. They connected with the audience and imbued the sizable crowd with a feeling of intimacy. Playing everything from jazz interpretations of western classical music to standards like "Autumn Leaves" — Jimmy's version is titled "Autumn Sleeves" — and original compositions, the quartet dazzled the crowd with virtuosic talent and inviting humility.
