Recording information: RCA Studios, Los Angeles, CA (09/20/1976/09/21/1976). Unknown Contributor Roles: Frank Rosolino; Jerome Richardson; Monty Budwig; Nick Ceroli; Oscar Brashear; Richie Kamuca; Ross Tompkins; Snooky Young; Bill Hood. Arranger: Bill Holman. Unlike most of his Pablo sessions, this Zoot Sims CD is not a quartet outing but an opportunity for his tenor to be showcased while joined by a nine-piece group that includes six horns (three reeds among them). Bill Holman's inventive arrangements are a large part as to why the date is successful but Sims's playing on the five standards, two Holman pieces and his own "Dark Cloud" should not be overlooked. Fortunately there is also some solo space saved for the talented sidemen (which include Oscar Brashear and Snooky Young on trumpets, trombonist Frank Rosolino and the woodwinds and reeds of Jerome Richardson, Richie Kamuca and Bill Hood). A well-rounded set of swinging jazz. ~ Scott Yanow
