The music on this CD (69 min./10 tunes) has never been released before. The music was recorded live in a nightclub in Atlanta, Ga., in 1981, and features Zoot Sims with a top local rhythm section lead by pianist Yancey Korosi; local tenor sax-player Rick Bell sits in on the last three numbers Sims plays in an easy-swinging, mainstream jazz style, heavily influenced by Lester Young. The repertoire consists of tasty and tasteful standards, including tunes by Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller and Harold Arlen. As always, Zoot Sims uses his beautiful tone and lots of melody to tell his story, rather than firing off endless notes and runs. Mostly known for his tenor sax-playing, Sims also shows his fluency and warmth on soprano sax, for example on an up-tempo version of ”Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise”. Zoot Sims beautiful, warm tone and perfect phrasing stem from his major influence, Lester Young.

La música de este CD (69 min./10 temas) no se ha publicado nunca antes. La música se grabó en directo en un club nocturno de Atlanta, Georgia, en 1981, y presenta a Zoot Sims con una sección rítmica local de primer orden, liderada por el pianista Yancey Korosi; el saxo tenor local Rick Bell interviene en los tres últimos números que Sims interpreta en un estilo de jazz fácil y corriente, muy influenciado por Lester Young. El repertorio se compone de sabrosos estándares, incluyendo temas de Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller y Harold Arlen. Como siempre, Zoot Sims utiliza su hermoso tono y mucha melodía para contar su historia, en lugar de disparar interminables notas y carreras. Conocido sobre todo por su forma de tocar el saxo tenor, Sims también muestra su fluidez y calidez con el saxo soprano, por ejemplo en una versión a ritmo de "Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise". El bello y cálido tono de Zoot Sims y su perfecto fraseo provienen de su mayor influencia, Lester Young.
