From other musicians in the NYC area.

Also, it was confirmed by one on this board.

Sorry to read this. I spoke with him briefly at a gig in DC a few years ago.  He was extremely pleasant and very down to earth. And his percussion work!!

Get well soon, Mr Heath !

Love Tootie.

Hope he's O.K.

one of my favourites.

I think the first time I heard him is on the Dexter Montmatre stuff. I love the way the drums are well recorded, you hear everything Tootie does I almost forget listening to the rest.

Really, I love everything he does on drums.......
