Just Friends (Zoot Sims and Harry Edison album)
1980 studio album by John Haley Sims and Harry Sweets Edison
Just Friends Zoot Sims (credited on the original release as John Haley Sims) with trumpeter Harry Sweets Edison recorded in late 1978 but not released by the Pablo label until 1980.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
Reception
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Although from different generations, tenor-saxophonist Zoot Sims and trumpeter Harry 'Sweets' Edison both always liked to swing, making their successful collaboration on this CD reissue not much of a surprise ... The results are predictable but colorful and inventive within the boundaries of the idiom".[ 5]
