Another treasure from the Sonet archives: a concert by a highly accomplished and superbly compatible Zoot Sims Trio, recorded in the library of the Sonet headquarters building in Lidingö, Sweden, on November 21st 1984 - just four months before Zoot died, at the age of 60.
Happily, the concert was also filmed. Ira Gitler once described the spirit and sensibility expressed by Zoot Sims as “eternal verities” - a phrase which vividly conveys the quintessential honesty of Zoot’s approach to music.
This is an absolutely joyous session performed by three outstanding musicians and the enjoyment they derived from playing together informs every not of the music. And there is a bonus in the form of a delightfully light-hearted interview which Red Mitchell has with Zoot Sims.

The immortal Zoot, together with my favourite bassist, Red, and the superb Renee Gustavson on guitar. This music is good for centuries.
Zoot once told me: "Jazz doesn't have to be revolutionary to be valid." Amen
Amen!
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Wonderful sentiment for these times and all times

Zoot
L'essentiel de l'émotion..
Loin du bruit , de la fureur et de vaines performances...merci Zoot, reviens quand tu veux...
The final set of a jazz warrior but the music never dies. RIP Zoot.
This really pulled me in, Zoot is wonderfully musical, without any pretense, and his own man. While so many think of and speak of Getz, Al Cohn, and a host of other great musicians, Zoot goes largely unnoticed but I certainly hope not forgotten!
Not among sax players. He is still considered one of the best by those who play his instrument.
In Baden Baden 1958, Zoot was starring in a radio-concert that became legendary as one of his best. Large part of it has been issued on vinyl, cassette and CD several times under names like "The lost tapes", "The Concert 23.6.1958" etc. My brother Lasse happened to come by on his way to Cannes and stopped to greet his friend who was producing the radio-concert of which Lasse was not aware. While talking suddenly Lasses old playmate from a German tour in 1956-57 British trumpeter Stu Hamer comes into the room with the mutual friend, german pianist Roland Kovac who was ordinary pianist in the radio-orchestra while Stu was among the guests together with among others Kenny Clarke on drums. Very hastily it was decided that Lasse should play in the concert as well which he did. He told me about the rehearsal in the afternoon when Zoot suddenly interrupted the orchestra with a stop gesture as he found the rythm to be too "german square" and said the later historical words: ”Gentlemen! Please! The war is over! Stop marching!”.
Totally loving this episode!! Zoot is my favourite sax player of all time! Followed by Eddie 'Lockjaw' and Scott Hamilton. Total masters also.
What a tone Zoot has!. Not heard him before. Love it
私がジャズ好きになったのはこの３名の演奏を聞いてから、そして教えてくれたジャズの師匠に心より感謝しますm(_ _)m 作中の最後のズートシムズの言葉｢音楽は人を穏やかにする｣正しくその通りです。(^_^;)
Magnificent tenor sax. I love this ensemble. Zoot's smooth, sweet swing is on display here. He is a masterful jazz improvizatonist, and yet his interpretations always respect the melody and just "fit" musically. Some jazz sax players, including ones with huge reputations, seem to major on long outbursts of squawking, showing their skills in dissonance and playing lines that express more angst than music. Zoot is musical from beginning to end. Fantastic!!
thanks for sharing this video. I met Zoot in 1968 in Poughkeepsie NY My flute teacher Claude Montreux was conducting the Hudson Valley Symphony & Zoot came up with Eddie Sauter to play some music from the FOCUS album that was recorded by Stan Getz. I heard the rehearsal & talked to Zoot before the performance. He was a great guy. I asked him what kind of mouthpiece & he told me it was a Hard Rubber Brilhart 4* . He was playing a Mark VI tenor that day had gotten from Selmer in France with a blue S on the neck. I enjoyed every minute that day.
Red Mitchell bass solo was terrific.
Just an Amazing musician. I saw him at Carmelo's in Van Nuts CA in the Late 70s .
Can't play the Horn better
R I P ZOOT YOU WERE OF THE VERY BEST
I heard Zoot on this tour in Sweden, in Uppsala in a basement club.
So glad I went, he played like he always did, swinging hard as ever.
Cant remember his backup but it wasnt Rune and Red, perhaps it was ocal guys.
We were spoiled in those days, going across the street to hear Zoot Stan Chet Wild Bill Clark Sweets and countless other great players.
Wow just discovered this great sax player and that he is laid to rest where in near in Nyack ny
Thank you thank you for sharing this! It's a rare treat to hear Zoot Sims speak about jazz and his experiences. There's also one with him and Oscar Peterson on youtube. To seem him play so well, doing what he loved, just a few months prior to his death is incredible. Wonder where that old horn is now...
Ovärderligt program. Ska titta i helhet.
Blir förmodligen söndertittad framöver känner jag på mig. Zoot, en klar favorit på tenor.
Great Sound Thank you
Just came across this and it's not even Christmas and I'm smiling like a 10 year old and the deal is I'm only 70
LovelY :)
Thank you for posting this. Huge Zoot fan, since 1962 when I was 15 years old. Can't love him enough
I have him as a soloist with the Gerry Mulligan Big Band.
That’s great, man. Tonight I’m smoking one for Zoot. Cheers.
Thank you very much for posting this wondeful jazz session! I have your original vinyl album and for me it still is one of the most precious jazz masterpieces that I am fortunate to ear from time to time. The rendition of Autumn Leaves by this magnificent trio is absolutely perfect! Thank you!
Thanks for your comment, Antonio. Check out our channel and subscribe for more wonderful jazz sessions from our archives!
Zoot and Scot Hamilton are two of my favourite tenor sax players.
Nice 👍🏻
Red! That's heavy so musical. What a facilitator a buoyant energy his presence. Before Peacock got that Jarrett gig he taught my advanced theory class at Cornish in Seattle. I asked him what bassists he loved/liked, Red Mitchell, was the name I didn't know.
Check out Red on 'big Two' with Warne Marsh
For sure. Red is a gem. I love his stuff with Jim Hall.
This is so valuable, pure gold
Yes, it’s beautiful. The final set of a jazz warrior but the music never dies.
Started my day with these guys..started yesterday with them...probably will need them to start tomorrow..what a lift.
What beauty!
Like an undulating river. Just brilliant. Zooooooooooot !!
I really enjoyed this and I think like Antonio is one of the most precious jazz masterpieces to hear.
What a great sound Zoot had!!
Zoot Sims, Aubra Graves, Nino Tempo, Stan Getz...
Adorably tailored...
"Jazzily" and organically smooth a la Lester Young.
Is Aubra Graves still alive?
@@gillesd91 i often wonder the same thing, is he?
Found out, died recently
Oh! According to Wiki, this was Zoots last studio session ever(!)
Don't get any amazing then this it just don't mr.zoot jazz style lives on & on...4ever jazzy
Sublime!
Soulful.
Zoot Sims en fin de vie. Merveilleux en tous points.
Someone had given me a VHS version of this years ago. Naturally it deteriorated over the years and I couldn't play it after awhile. This is great!!
incredible, what a gem! thanks a lot for the upload!
Jazz the way I love it🥃🎷
Rob de Jong - Kooger Yeah without trying jazz is just Apex music.
Oh, that bass player!
Mr. Keith Moore Mitchell. What a great musician. Pretty handy on that piano too.
A glass of wine and Zoot Sims and the girl is going to say yes.
Perfect !!!!!
What a gem this vid is! Thanks for posting.
This stuff swings like hell...
Oh My God !!!!!! maravilloso.... uno de los Four Brothers...
like vintage whiskey .
Toca amb tot el gust del món...extraordinari.
Gabi Gispert.....es per mi,un dels millors de tots els temps, el saxo mes sexy....l'anomenaven!!! Excel.lent amb gran orquestra, excel.lent en petit combo. Mai tocava una nota per que si. Salut Gispert.
Zoot Sims - ts, Rune Gustafsson - g, Red Garland - b
You mean Red Mitchell
Red Mitchell on bass. Different shade of Red.
Opening bass line ya. That old metal makes your playing really good . I believe if you have good equipment it makes you sound better !
❤
What a shame he died so young. His successor Stan Getz also passed away early.
I wish more people played that tenor like this. Most musicians just bark on the thing and play it rough, it sounds like a buzzsaw, abrasive and unpleasant. Coltrane and Ike Quebec were particularly bad about that.
Sims, Getz, Lester Young, Babe Russin even, they all played it so smoothly and beautifully. They're technique made it sound like an alto sax and not a tenor!
11:09, he blows his soul into his sax!
Is Red Mitchell's bass smaller and tuned in 5ths?
Zoot... Such a happenin' cat...
