Zoot Sims: Swing King (CD: Proper, 2 CDs)
While he may not have been an innovator per se, Zoot Sims was one of the hardest swinging yet most lyrical players on tenor sax. As a member of Woody Herman's legendary "Four Brothers" band, Sims was in company with other players who followed in the wake of (and took their inspiration from) Lester Young, and his playing as his career went on followed this path more and more. This 2CD set presents some of the finest moments from the start of his career, drawing on recordings made with the Herman band, Stan Kenton and with small ensembles. Throughout one is struck by the taste and poise of his playing, but above all by its swing. (Proper Records)

Zoot Sims: Last Of The Apple (CD: Jasmine)
Tenor saxophonist ZOOT SIMS was one of the best loved of all Jazz musicians working with big names such as Benny Goodman, Stan Kenton and Gerry Mulligan but this Jasmine CD presents some of his finest early work as a leader in his own right originally released on several different labels as 78s and LPs. The disc contains 5 seperate recording dates, all in his beloved quartet format, from the early 1950s, including his on-record debut as a leader made in Sweden in 1950. Some of Sims' most important early work is here such as the lengthy "East Of The Sun" and "Zoot Swings the Blues", two of the first jazz sides ever cut for release on Long Playing records. •Zoot's accompanists include the pianists DICK HYMAN, GERRY WIGGINS and JOHN LEWIS and the drummers ART BLAKEY, KENNY CLARKE and DON LAMOND. CD Includes 20 tracks and a full booklet essay by Simon Spillett. (Proper Music)
