ALBERT "TOOTIE" HEATH, originally from Philadelphia, is an American jazz hard bop drummer, the brother of tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath and the double-bassist Percy Heath. He first recorded in 1957 with John Coltrane. From 1958 to 1974 he worked with, among others, J. J. Johnson, Wes Montgomery, Art Farmer and Benny Golson's “Jazztet”, Cedar Walton, Bobby Timmons, Kenny Drew, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Johnny Griffin, Herbie Hancock, Friedrich Gulda, Nina Simone, and Yusef Lateef. In 1975, Tootie, Jimmy, and Percy formed the Heath Brothers. He remained with the group until 1978, then left to freelance. Tootie has recorded extensively throughout his career. His latest recording “Tootie’s Tempo”, released in 2013, features Tootie, Ethan Iverson (Piano), and Ben Street (Bass). Among his many workshop and classroom teaching assignments, Tootie is a regular instructor at the Stanford Jazz Workshop. He is now the producer and leader of The Whole Drum Truth, a jazz drum ensemble featuring Ben Riley, Ed Thigpen, Jackie Williams, Billy Hart, Charlie Persip, Leroy Williams and Louis Hayes.
NIELS LAN DOKY was born in Copenhagen, started playing piano at the age of eleven, and went on to attend the Berklee College of Music in the early 1980s. In his career he has recorded 37 albums as a leader and has a group "The Doky Brothers", which includes his brother Chris Minh Doky on bass guitar. He has also worked with Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, John Scofield, Gino Vannelli, Pat Metheny, Joe Henderson, Mike Brecker, Dave Sanborn, Ray Brown, Woody Shaw, Charlie Haden, John McLaughlin and many others. In the wake of a very eclectic period of his career (various collaborations in the fields of world, pop, classical and electronica, meeting and performing for Pope John Paul II at the Vatican, receiving an award from Denmark's royal family, being appointed Member of the Music Committee under the Danish Arts Council by the Danish Culture Minister, and making his film directing debut with the feature film Between a Smile and a Tear), Niels has in recent years returned to his roots by making it a priority to tour with his jazz trio - which in its US edition comprises drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts and bassist Ira Coleman or Gary Peacock and in its Danish edition comprises bassist Jonathan Bremer and drummer Niclas Bardeleben. He is also a part of The Oscar Peterson Legacy Quartet, a project formed in cooperation with the Oscar Peterson Estate and featuring Peterson alumni Dave Young, Alvin Queen and Ulf Wakenius and Lan Doky. He was knighted by HRH The Queen of Denmark in 2010. Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Lan_Doky
