"Mr. Sims makes this fluid instrument come alive and take on a life of its own. His timing is next to none and the improvisations are second only to Mr. Sims' mastery of his instrument. A lesson some of today's Jazz dabbliers could take note of. Oh do not get me wrong there are some very good Sax players out there in the Jazz world today, but today's Jazz has become somewhat "cookie cutter" in its presentation, or too commercialized.
This is a 1973 recording, but it is very relevent to the standards of Jazz, without which there would be something missing in Jazz. You do not have to be an old timer to appreciate the sound Mr. Sims is putting out, just a Jazz lover. Give this CD a listen, it is moving."
