JAM SESSION ART PEPPER, ZOOT SIMS

waylonfeedback Thanks to Laurie Pepper for a great Christmas present! Not surprisingly, the highlight is Art's ballad feature, (Somewhere) Over The Rainbow, but everybody plays well throughout. Zoot really shines on the surprisingly uptempo Girl From Ipanema. He should have been recorded live more often. He always brought a little extra when spurred on by another top saxophonist, and who better to spur him on than Art Pepper? Great recording quality too.

Lee Downey This is a very good recording of a pretty good band. Thanks for sharing! Favorite track: (Somewhere) Over the Rainbow.

jazzpianofan Some of the most melodiest jazz I heard for a long while Favorite track: The Girl from Ipanema.
