Product description

"Soprano Sax" is a captivating album by the legendary saxophonist Zoot Sims, recorded in 1976 and released under the Pablo label. This album stands out as a rare gem in Sims' discography, showcasing his mastery of the soprano sax, a departure from his more familiar tenor work. The album features eight tracks, including the enchanting "Moonlight In Vermont" and the soulful "Willow Weep For Me," all of which are performed with Sims' signature cool jazz style, blending elements of hard bop and bebop. The recording sessions took place at RCA Studios in New York on January 8th and 9th, 1976, and the album's duration is a concise yet satisfying 45 minutes. Joining Sims on this project are notable musicians Ray Bryant on piano, George Mraz on bass, and Grady Tate on drums, creating a dynamic and engaging musical experience. "Soprano Sax" is a testament to Zoot Sims' versatility and virtuosity, offering a fresh perspective on his artistry.

This LP was released in 1976.

Zoot delivers an amazing performance, and I was equally impressed by the piano recording, it's nothing like those RVG ones, Ray Bryant and Sims make a fantastic pair! Pablo Records did a stellar job on this recording.
