Nothing too mellow here, as the album's a rare live date from Zoot Sims – one that has the saxophonist blowing both tenor and soprano, really stretching out on a set of long tracks! The 2CD package is one of those great dates from the Live At Ejs series – material that really lets you hear a player in a different context than usual – in this case for Sims, blowing with a bit more open, exploratory tones than on some of his late 70s studio material. The group features the surprising appearance of Yancy Korossy on piano – that hip Eastern European player we know from 60s and 70s recordings – and tenorist Rick Bell joins the group on the first half of the set. Titles include "Emily", "All The Things You Are", "The Girl From Ipanema", "Over The Rainbow", "That Old Devil Called Love", "Caravan", and "Groovin High".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.

A rare gem from Zoot Sims – very different than any of his other albums! The session features Zoot blowing over large backings arranged and conducted by Gary McFarland, a bit in the older Verve "with strings" mode, but also sparkling with a lot of the newer elements that McFarland ... CD

Not sure exactly why Zoot's got some Gemini wishes in the title – but the album's a great date, one of his later pairings with pianist Jimmy Rowles – a beautiful partner for the laidback tone that Sims adopted at this stage in his career! The album's got an understated eloquence that ... CD
