Zoot Sims • Zoot Sims and The Gershwin Brothers




Review by Scott Yanow
Along with his album with Count Basie (Basie and Zoot) during the same period, this is one of Sims' most exciting recordings of his career. Greatly assisted by pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist George Mraz, and drummer Grady Tate, he explores ten songs written by George and Ira Gershwin. Somehow the magic was definitely present and, whether it be stomps such as "The Man I Love," "Lady Be Good," and "I Got Rhythm" or warm ballads (including "I've Got a Crush on You" and "Embraceable You"), Zoot Sims is heard at the peak of his powers. A true gem.

 Reseña de Scott Yanow
Junto con su álbum con Count Basie (Basie and Zoot) durante el mismo período, esta es una de las grabaciones más emocionantes de Sims en su carrera. Muy asistido por el pianista Oscar Peterson, el guitarrista Joe Pass, el bajista George Mraz y el baterista Grady Tate, explora diez canciones escritas por George e Ira Gershwin. De alguna manera, la magia estaba definitivamente presente y, ya sea con zapateados como "The Man I Love", "Lady Be Good" y "I Got Rhythm" o con cálidas baladas (incluyendo "I've Got a Crush on You" y "Embraceable You"), se escucha a Zoot Sims en la cima de sus poderes. Una verdadera joya.
