Jimmy Heath

An opportunity presented itself Mr. Chambers and our class. The legendary Jimmy Heath was on NCCU's campus, teaching and talking about his life's experiences and just sharing his knowledge in general. At first I had no idea who Jimmy Heath was but I was told he was a brilliant instrumentalist who loved Jazz. So i texted my Auntie Lane during his lecture to tell her who was at Central because she LOVES Jazz.. She responded that I was in the presence of a genius and a legendary musician, and i should appreciate that opportunity to hear him speak. At first i thought he was only going to talk about music and i felt that i might not be able to connect with the things he was talking about. Life struggles, and how he got to where he is today. It wasn't easy and nothing was given to him on a silver platter, he networked and worked hard, to get where he is, and never loosed focus.....He had a passion for something and never let it step in the way.
