Zoot Sims & Bucky Pizzarelli • Elegiac

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This generally interesting but only adequately recorded set, which was issued for the first time on this 1996 CD, features duets played by Zoot Sims (doubling on tenor and soprano) and guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli. The pair mostly sticks to swinging standards, other than Neal Hefti's "Fred" and Rod McKuen's "Jean," and there are some strong moments (particularly on "Lester Leaps In," "Limehouse Blues" and "Softly As In a Morning Sunrise"), but one does miss the bass and drums after awhile.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este conjunto generalmente interesante pero solo adecuadamente grabado, que se publicó por primera vez en este CD de 1996, presenta duetos interpretados por Zoot Sims (doblando tenor y soprano) y el guitarrista Bucky Pizzarelli. La pareja se apega principalmente a los estándares del swing, aparte de "Fred" de Neal Hefti y "Jean" de Rod McKuen, y hay algunos momentos fuertes (particularmente en "Lester Leaps In", "Limehouse Blues" y "Softly As In a Morning Sunrise"), pero uno extraña el bajo y la batería después de un tiempo.
