Bill Heid
Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s Born: Aug 11, 1948 in Pittsburgh, PA Genre: Jazz
Keyboardist/vocalist Bill Heid was born August 11, 1948 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A natural and virtuosic musician who was inspired to play jazz and blues by listening to the radio, he played in both piano and organ groups. His brother is the well-respected drummer and producer George Heid. Originally influenced by Jimmy Smith and Don Patterson, Heid heard the chitlin' circuit greats at the Hurricane Bar, including Smith and Patterson, Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff and Dr. Lonnie Smith. Down the street at the Crawford Grill were the jazz bands led by Freddie Hubbard, Max Roach, Gene Harris, Bobby Timmons and Wynton Kelly. On occasion he would sit-in with some of those groups and pester them for information. Spending time in Chicago and later in New York, he met and hung out with his mentor, Larry Young, often visiting the family-owned Newark Club in Young's hometown of Newark, New Jersey. He also was privy to playing with the best organ drummers like Joe Dukes and Billy James. And he heard the local contingent of jazz greats like Ahmad Jamal, Art Blakey, Erroll Garner, George Benson, Eddie Jefferson, Mary Lou Williams and Stanley Turrentine. His quest for musical knowledge found him on the road when in 1963, in search of rare 78 r.p.m. rhythm and blues record, he began a journey career of hitchhiking. He did this in the contiguous 48 U.S. states, through Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, China and the Thailand/Cambodia border. His over 400,000 documented miles of thumbing a ride gained Heid a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Some of his journeys led him to the so-called chicken houses and organ rooms of major cities where he interned with Jimmy Witherspoon, Jimmy Ponder, Sonny Stitt, Grant Green, David ‘Fathead' Newman, Ira Sullivan, Mickey Roker, and was a pianist with Don Patterson. A move to Chicago brought him closer to the urban blues as he worked or recorded with Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and especially Son Seals, Koko Taylor, Fenton Robinson and Roy Buchanan. He also did two LP's and played in the bands of contemporary jazz guitarist Henry Johnson. Moving to Detroit, he spent two decades there playing in his own groups, and helping to revive the career of the local legend of blues guitar and vocals, Johnnie Bassett as the music director of his Blues Insurgents, and backed the veteran singer Alberta Adams. During and since his time in Detroit, Heid was found making music soundtracks for adult films in Los Angeles, then was touring worldwide for the U.S. State Department as a jazz ambassador, particularly on tours of Japan and Vietnam. In August 2003, Heid played more of the Pacific Rim in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Upon moving back east, he is heard on organ and piano engagements at various venues in the Washington, D.C. area. Of his mind-set, Heid was quoted as saying "I can't live a day without playing 1-4-5s," incorporating those standard blues changes with cool McCoy Tyner minor riffs, vicious funk songs in Japanese, and what he calls Talifunk. "I approach this thing like total war and have been lucky to have avoided a day job." His hip vernacular, unique vocal language and risque sense of humor, melded with his passion for baseball, has made him an entertainer non-pariel. ---Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide |
