New Live - Dizzy, Zoot Sims & Mangelsdorff

[tranemonk]

Just got finished listening to the Cannnonball Jazzhaus release and it's great. Looking forward to the Dizzy and maybe the Sims...

The Art Blakey (Bobby Watson, David Schnitter edition) and Duke Ellington releases on this label are both excellent, as is the Cannonball Adderley. I'll definitely get the Dizzy Gillespie.

Has anyone picked up the Sims release? It sounds pretty good based on the samples here on Amazon.

I did. No regrets. Sound is good indeed. As for the music, my subjective and admittedly superficial (for the time being) impression is that Zoot's playing (and his interplay with Hans Koller) in a way is more adventurous than in many of his collaborations with Al Cohn, for example, of that period. Don't know which way of playing I'd like better; it is probably a matter of momentary preference with me.
