Warm Tenor
1979 studio album by Zoot Sims and Jimmy Rowles
Warm Tenor Zoot Sims , recorded in 1978 and released by the Pablo label the following year.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
Reception
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "The Pablo label was a perfect home for Zoot Sims during the second half of the '70s; the cool-toned tenor always sounded at his best in informal settings with small groups where he had the opportunity to stretch out. This quartet set with pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist George Mraz and drummer Mousey Alexander gives Sims a chance to interpret a variety of mostly underplayed standards".[ 5] All About Jazz If I'm Lucky [ 7]
