PLAYS ALTO, TENOR & BARITONE
Personnel:
Zoot Sims (as, ts, bs), John Williams (p), Knobby Totah (b), Gus Johnson(d)
Reference: FSRCD 434
Bob Brookmeyer did especial well in describing the power of Zoot\'splaying when he said, \"Zoot plays earthy. He is direct, simple, logical,and above all, emotional\".
About the first LP on this Cd set (1-8), Nat Hentoff wrote in Down Beat,\"Zoot is one of the very few jazzmen who can make 12\" of a one-hornLP a constantly experience. His time is apparently as natural in him heartbeat,and his work here is as clear and memorable a definition of what swinging is asyou can find\".
On the second albulm (9-16), through multiple taping, Zoot blows alto,tenor and baritone saxophones in unison, opening and closing passages, soloingindividually on each horn on the body of George Handy\'s inventive compositions.Dom Cerulli, in his highly enthusiastic review in Down beat, said:\"Handy\'s writing is as constantly alive and imaginative, as Zoot\'s playingis forceful and swinging.\" This Cd reinforces Zoot\'s stature as a majorjazz instrumentalist.
