Our Take

ZOOT SIMS Brother In Swing - A Review:

Taking a stroll down the jazz alleyway, we stumble upon Zoot Sims' latest offering, "Brother In Swing." A timeless journey through the swinging sounds of yesteryear, this album is a delightful reminder of why we fell in love with jazz in the first place.

Sims effortlessly weaves his smooth saxophone melodies through each track, transporting listeners to a smoky, dimly lit jazz club where the drinks are strong and the music is even stronger. From the toe-tapping "Stomp, Look and Listen" to the sultry "In a Mellow Tone," Sims' mastery of the swing genre is evident in every note he plays.

The star-studded lineup on this album is also worth mentioning, with legends like Benny Green and Dave Pelton adding their own flair to each track. It's clear that Sims has surrounded himself with some of the best in the business, creating a dynamic and engaging listening experience from start to finish.

In true Zoot Sims fashion, "Brother In Swing" is a playful and lighthearted romp through the world of jazz, offering a perfect blend of nostalgia and innovation. So grab a cocktail, settle in, and let Zoot Sims take you on a swingin' journey you won't soon forget. Cheers to that, old sport.
