Down Home is an album by American jazz tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims.

Reception

Billboard magazine called it an "unusual album", in that Sims "applied his improvisational skill to a number of real oldies".^[2] The magazine reviewed the singles as well, noting the "all-star rhythm section"^[4] and generally saying the songs were "perfect for jazz jukeboxes".^[5] Down Beat called it "a marvellous example of Sims' ability to swing".^[6]

Scott Yanow, writing for AllMusic, called it "enjoyable and consistently swinging", noting that it "gives one a look at the great pianist Dave McKenna in his early days".^[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz described it as "a classic Zoot date, with the saxophonist swinging as hard as ever and McKenna offering his characteristic full-blooded support".^[3]
