Zoot Sims • In Copenhagen

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Formerly put out by Storyville, this audiophile CD reissue features the great Zoot Sims performing in a quartet with bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and two notable expatriates: pianist Kenny Drew and drummer Ed Thigpen. Sims, who doubles here on soprano, is in typically swinging form on such numbers as "Too Close for Comfort," "In a Mellowtone," an extended, nearly ten-minute rendition of "All the Things You Are," and "It's All Right with Me." The supporting rhythm section is perfect for this style of music, and Sims is heard throughout in prime form.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Publicado anteriormente por Storyville, esta reedición en CD para audiófilos presenta al gran Zoot Sims actuando en un cuarteto con el bajista Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen y dos notables expatriados: el pianista Kenny Drew y el baterista Ed Thigpen. Sims, que aquí dobla a la soprano, está en su forma típica de swing en números como "Too Close for Comfort", "In a Mellowtone", una extensa interpretación de casi diez minutos de "All the Things You Are" y "It's All Right with Me". La sección rítmica de apoyo es perfecta para este estilo de música, y Sims está en plena forma.
