5.0 out of 5 stars A Remarkable Memory of a Jazz Great Nov 21 2012
By An Old Bopper
Amazon Verified Purchase
Every once in a while a true gem pops up on DVD and this is just such a gem.Filmed in 1984 in
Sweden just months before his untimely death this last look at Zoot Sims shows us what a consumate jazz musician he was.Sims, who first appeared on record with Woody Herman's original Four Brothers in 1947 alongside Stan Getz,Serge Challoff and Herbie Stewart was a true original and perhaps the most swinging tenor player of his generation.This last look at Zoot shows, ill as he was,that the fingers and mind were still as good as ever.Captured on film in a setting that looks like someone's living room this beautifully filmed session featured Sims in a relaxed trio format.Bassist Red Mitchell,another legendary jazzman and Rune Gustafsson(a fine Swedish guitarist)round out this group.I truly dont know of any other jazz DVD that betters this one for all around ambience,visual clarity and excellent sound.I could go on and on but the only thing I shall say in closing is-BUY THIS !!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Zoot Trio In Sweden Feb 27 2012
By Donnie The B - Published on Amazon.com

What a treat this video is! You get to find out for sure that Zoot used the same 1935 Radio Improved Selmer tenor virtually his entire career. He bought the horn used when he was a teenager in the Benny Goodman band. Red Mitchell, the bassist on this session interviews Zoot between numbers to good effect. The sound and video quality is quite good and the musicianship is top notch, despite the fact that Zoot was destined to pass away later that year.. Rune Gustafson on guitar rounds out the trio, recorded in an intimate setting.
If you are a Zoot Sims fan or just a fan of small group jazz, you will cherish this DVD. If you are new to Zoot he is regarded as one of the top saxophonists of all time. Woody Herman famously said that Zoot is one of the best rhythm sections you can have. He was known as a consummate swinger - never losing the beat despite the complexity of solo. And he almost never played a wrong note or inappropriate phrase. He said enough in his solos without having to show you how many notes he could cram in. Hope you'll consider giving Zoot a spot in your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning audio quality!!! Aug 23 2011
By R. D. Grimes - Published on Amazon.com

Zoot fans will want to get behind this new release from a Swedish session in 1984, just months before Zoot's passing. Flanked by Red Mitchell and Rune Gustafsson in an intimate living room setting, Zoot is at his best and shows none of his age.

There's practically no video of Zoot Sims in his element, and this title immediately leaps forward as THE ONE to have and cherish. If this isn't enough, there's a running interview between Red and Zoot that plays between songs (not over them). Zoot tells stories from his extensive career.

2-ch LPCM audio is amazingly clear and well recorded, every little nuance of Zoot's technique is clearly audible. This audio is better than most CDs. The video is average for the time, nothing special but at least it doesn't detract from the experience.

I can't say it enough, if you are a Zoot Sims fan or even just curious about him, this is a must-have title. Zoot's total command of the instrument and the music is aptly displayed here along with 2 other world-class musicians. BUY THIS!!!!

The first reviewer nailed it, get it!. Any Zoot Sims fan will love this DVD. He sounds just like his swingin' self, it will sound like your cds. When it ended, my wife said, " It's over already ! ", that sums it up. Great stuff, but you will want more.
