Both Al Cohn and Zoot Sims are heard on tenor saxophones and are backed by Portland resident Dave Frishberg on piano; Victor Sproles, bass and drummer Donald Mc Donald.   <\/p>\n<p>Cohn take the first solo on &#8220;Foolish Things.&#8221; Listening to him reveals just how much Stan Getz must have been influenced by him with tone and intonation. On &#8220;Willow Weep For Me,&#8221; Sims is reminiscent of Gene Ammons with his blues interpretation.  Even though the two tunes stand in stark contrast, their pairing makes for great listening.   <\/p>\n<p>Zoot takes the first solo on &#8220;Blue Hodge,&#8221; a tune written for Johnny Hodges.  Cohn follows just as blue.   Each of these players is great in his own right but together they seem to gain inspiration and that&#8217;s clearly heard.     <\/font><\/p>\n<p>  \t          <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Live at the Left Bank Al Cohn and Zoot Sims<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4428\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
