Zoot Sims seems to be good player, but I could never get past his name. I see ZOOT, and I think Vaudville. Some guy in a plaid suit. :) Silly but true. I understand that is not his birth name. He should have stuck with the birth name. Can you image a Zoot Coltrane!!
He did make a record with JUTTA HIPP. A female Jazz piano player from Germany. Eventually found her way to NYC. I have one of the few LPs she made. I think she only made three. I have her 'At The Hickory House Vol 1.
She quit Jazz because she suffered too much anxiety playing with the big boys. Horace Silver et al. She quit Jazz and became a seamtress!
I was listening to The Jazz Messengers last nigth. 'Jazz messengers at the Cafe Bohemia. With Horace Silver, Kenny Dorham and Hank Mobley. They made the set.
Cafe Bohemia must be quite a place. That's where the Mingus performance was recorded.
Cheers
