Description
“(Although it claims on the back of this CD that the music was recorded in August 1956, discographies state February and that seems more logical since) valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyer and tenor-saxophonist Zoot Sims did not team up for a very long period (although three records resulted from their valuable collaboration). With assistance from pianist John Williams, bassist Bill Crow and drummer Jo Jones, Sims and Brookmeyer are in fine form on such selections as a rollicking ‘The King,’ ‘Lullaby of the Leaves,’ a brief two-song ballad medley and Brookmeyer's ‘Whooeeee!’ Sims takes a rare (and fairly effective) vocal on ‘I Can't Get Started.’ Recommended ( as is the other Black Lion Zoot Sims CD from the same period, Tonite's Music Today.)” Scott Yanow-All Music Guide
