Zoot Sims • Zoot Suite

 

Review
by Thom Jurek
High Note finally issued this unreleased 1973 live date that puts leader Zoot Sims in the company of pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist George Mraz and drummer Mousie Alexander. Most of the tunes are standards, but there is a rather rare Sims appearance on the soprano saxophone on "Rocking in Rhythm." The sound here is fine for a club performance though the players are a tad raw. That said, the performance, particularly that of Rowles, is swinging, hot, and blue.

High Note finalmente publicó esta fecha inédita en vivo de 1973 que pone al líder Zoot Sims en compañía del pianista Jimmy Rowles, el bajista George Mraz y el baterista Mousie Alexander. La mayoría de los temas son estándares, pero hay una rara aparición de Sims con el saxo soprano en "Rocking in Rhythm". El sonido está bien para una actuación de club, aunque los intérpretes son un poco crudos. Dicho esto, la interpretación, especialmente la de Rowles, es vibrante, ardiente y azul.
