DOWN BEAT original review: ZOOT
“The album is a wholly spontaneous one, and as such, merits the full rating as one of the more sustained examples of hot jazz improvisation on recent records. Zoot is one of the very few jazzmen who can make 12” out of a one-horn LP a constantly fulfilling experience.” (Nat Hentoff)
DOWN BEAT original review: ZOOT SIMS PLAYS ALTO, TENOR, AND BARITONE
“Zoot and George Handy combined to make this a swinging contribution to record libraries. Handy’s writing is as constantly alive and imaginative, as Zoot’s playing is forceful and swinging.” (Dom Cerulli)
