ULTIMATE ZOOT SIMS on PABLO RECORDS

This Video is one about my favorite Zoot Sims recording on Pablo and a few other “gems’. Zoot (John Haley Sims) was either a leader or sideman on hundreds of recordings. I feel thee Pablo record issued from 1979-1865 we among his very best. He had some great groups and some interesting sidemen (His older brother Ray was a sideman(trombone) on “The Swinger” and played great!

I referred to a great review of WALTZ for DEBBIE done here on You Tube by Scott on the Pressing Matters. Here is the link.
• Bill Evans Trio Waltz ...
I could not have said things better. Scott was spot on. Unless there is something really necessary, I leave the reissue discussions s to others who do them great. I try and stick to the things I think are interesting and most times not reissued yet( but a lot should---Chad at Analogue Productions-HOW ABOUT A ZOOT PABLE ROX…. Maybe 45 RPM?)

Hi, Jack, greetings and thanks from good old Europe, thanks for your higly informative videos, such as this one. Zoot Sims is my favourite saxophonist, and - I‘m proud to say - my Zoot-Pablo- collection seems to be even bigger than yours. I completely share your enthusiasm for Zoot, and wish you a very happy 2024.

Great video jack I have a couple of zoots and a few Pablos now. Thanks for your info.

The only Zoot album I have is "Zoot at Ease" on the Famous door record label. It has some tracks where he plays soprano sax, which he didn't do very much.

Hi Jack, I would like to add one beautiful record of this time: "Blues For Two" with the fabulous Joe Pass....

[@Jackgrahamphotograph]

agree good record--Pass plays great... his one for me was on the bubble but probably should have been included( trig to keep the video about 30 minutes!.. great recommendation for everyone!-thanks for watching and commenting--JG

Hello again Jack ,
I have been hanging out for this one . Zoot is so wonderful in the way he can swing a song and caress a Ballad.
The whole series on Pablo I have and can't live without . Zoot and Jimmie Rowles are amazing with the repertoire of tunes they have to fall back on . The sound quality is top rate all the way .
A little while before Zoot got to Pablo are a few things for Hank O'Neil on Chiaroscuro with Dave McKenna and an incredible session with of all people Joe Venuti , if you don't have it chase it down , I love it CR128 .
Zoot bobs up on Soprano on Pablo with your favourite Ray Bryant and that goes in for me .
Thanks again, with Zoot we all keep swinging.

[@Jackgrahamphotograph]

I need that on with Bryant--I've heard it streaming and its good.. Thanks for the note on the one with McKenna---I'll look for it too. thanks again JG

[@hewie2u]

@@Jackgrahamphotograph Jack , look for Dave Mc Kenna Quartet on Chiaroscuro CR136 . Great tune selection too .

[@erikbaas2003]

[@Jackgrahamphotograph]

..... an we appreciate you watching !--thanks--JG

[@chelillingworth9466]

And don't forget the soprano album!

[@orod575]

Great video, as always. I have a few of Zoot’s releases on Pablo. My question is this, we’re all Pablo releases in mono? I have the 1981 release of “I Wish I Were Twins “ but the album doesn’t state either or. Any info you can shed?

[@Jackgrahamphotograph]

I believe they are all stereo.... a few say stereo on the record label(below the catalog number)... I'll do dome more digging for you!--Thanks for watching and for the interesting comment...JG
