Recorded live in New York City, New York in 1980.
Personnel: Zoot Sims (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar).
Liner Note Authors: Alun Morgan; David X. Young.
Recording information: New York, NY (11/06/1980).
This generally interesting but only adequately recorded set, which was issued for the first time on this 1996 CD, features duets played by Zoot Sims (doubling on tenor and soprano) and guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli. The pair mostly sticks to swinging standards, other than Neal Hefti's "Fred" and Rod McKuen's "Jean," and there are some strong moments (particularly on "Lester Leaps In," "Limehouse Blues" and "Softly As In a Morning Sunrise"), but one does miss the bass and drums after awhile. ~ Scott Yanow
