Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

Streaming Zoot

Zoot2.jpgThe National Public Radio Jazz Profiles program about Zoot Sims is now up on NPR’s web site in streaming audio.
 The show produced by Paul Conley and hosted by Nancy Wilson includes memories of the great saxophonist by Bob Brookmeyer, Dave Frishberg, Bill Holman, Harry Allen, Bucky Pizzarelli, Zoot’s wife Louise and me. It also has plenty of music. To hear it, go here and click on “Listen Now.”

For a recent Rifftides piece on Sims and his tenor sax companion Al Cohn, go here. It includes a link to a performance video.
