Zoot Sims – For Lady Day (Pablo, 1991)

Zoot Sims (ts); Jimmy Rowles (p); George Mraz (d); Jackie Williams (d)

Recorded on April 10 - 11, 1978






More Zoot Sims 

In the late 70s and early 80s, Sims frequently recorded with Jimmy Rowles and George Mraz.  All of their collaborations are wonderful.  Along with For Lady Day, I'm especially partial to:
- If I'm Lucky (Pablo, 1977)
- Warm Tenor (Pablo, 1979)
- Suddenly It's Spring (Pablo, 1983)

    Full agreement on this period of Zoot Sims' long career. Let's not forget "Zoot Sims and the Gershwin Brothers" with Mraz, Joe Pass, and Oscar Peterson replacing Jimmy Rowles. All of these Pablos represent a very consistent artist at the peak of his powers.
