Zoot Sims: Compatibility
Quest'ultimo compone ed arrangia la gran parte dei brani in scaletta, rivelando una penna ricca di inventiva e swing. Le due formazioni di ampio respiro assecondano al meglio i raffinati arrangiamenti, mettendo anche in luce i notevoli Bob Gordon al sax baritono e Dick Nash al trombone.
Improvvisando con il suo proverbiale swing rilassato, l'etereo sax tenore di Zoot Sims è la ciliegina sulla torta di un CD davvero avvincente. Le tredici tracce proposte esaltano in questa tappa misconosciuta del cool jazz le potenzialità di una penna ricca di sottigliezze e dal dinamico interplay. Si impone una musica raffinata, costruita con eleganza per valorizzare le varie voci solistiche. Se Daniels è la mente, ci pensa Sims a far volare gioiosamente lo swing grazie ad una straordinaria inventiva melodica e colloquiale.
