The Portuguese Jazz Hour label presents 25 tasty tracks from the first six years of tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims' recording career. The 18-year-old Lester Young devotee is heard as a member of the Joe Bushkin Sextet on four swingin' sides recorded for Commodore on May 24, 1944. He then resurfaces as accompanist on two romantic ballads sung by Harry Belafonte in 1949. Sims' first date as a leader came together in Stockholm, Sweden on April 23, 1950. He pays tribute to Prez with a smart rendition of "Tickle Toe" and communes with harmonica man Toots Thielemans on "All the Things You Are." A bop exercise titled "Yellow Duck" was recorded the following day using a group billed as "Zoot Sims & His Five Brothers." This little band included a trumpeter named Sixteen Eriksson, baritone saxophonist Lars Gullin and pianist Dick Hyman, who sounds very comfortable with the boppish "Duck." On June 9, 1950, Hyman and Sims sat in with Pierre Michelot and Ed Shaughnessy on what could be considered the best of the Parisian Vogue sessions led by Roy Eldridge; on "It Don't Mean a Thing" and "Ain't No Flies on Me" Eldridge sings in duet with Anita Love. Seven days later Sims led his own quartet date for Vogue, in collusion with Gerald Wiggins, Pierre Michelot and Kenny "Klook" Clarke. This excellent sampler of early Sims closes with four titles from a Prestige quartet session that took place in New York September 16, 1950 with John Lewis, Curly Russell and Don Lamond. All of the music on this album is exceptionally fine. It is highly recommended for walking, driving, cooking, partying, house cleaning, brushing the dog or combing the cat.

Throughout his career, Zoot Sims was famous for epitomizing the swinging musician, never playing an inappropriate phrase. He always sounded inspired, and although his style did not change much after the early 1950s, Zoot's enthusiasm and creativity never wavered.
Zoot's family was involved in vaudeville, and he played drums and clarinet as a youth. His older brother Ray Sims developed into a fine trombonist who sounded like Bill Harris. At age 13, Sims switched permanently to the tenor, and his initial inspiration was Lester Young, although he soon developed his own cool-toned sound. Sims was a professional by the age of 15, landing his first important job with Bobby Sherwood's Orchestra, and joined Benny Goodman's big band for the first time in 1943; he would be one of BG's favorite tenormen for the next 30 years. He recorded with Joe Bushkin in 1944, and even at that early stage, his style was largely set.
After a period in the Army, Sims was with Goodman from 1946-47. He gained his initial fame as one of Woody Herman's "Four Brothers" during his time with the Second Herd (1947-49). Zoot had brief stints with Buddy Rich's short-lived big band, Artie Shaw, Goodman (1950), Chubby Jackson and Elliot Lawrence. He toured and recorded with Stan Kenton (1953) and Gerry Mulligan (1954-56). Sims was also a star soloist with Mulligan's Concert Jazz Band of the early 1960s and visited the Soviet Union with Benny Goodman in 1962. A freelancer throughout most of his career, Sims often led his own combos or co-led bands with his friend Al Cohn; the two tenors had very similar sounds and styles. Zoot started doubling on soprano quite effectively in the 1970s. Through the years, he appeared in countless situations, and always seemed to come out ahead. Fortunately, Zoot Sims recorded frequently, leading sessions for Prestige, Metronome, Vogue, Dawn, Storyville, Argo, ABC-Paramount, Riverside, United Artists, Pacific Jazz, Bethlehem, Colpix, Impulse, Groove Merchant, Famous Door, Choice, Sonet, and a wonderful series for Pablo.
