1991 studio album by Zoot Sims
For Lady Day Zoot Sims , recorded in 1978 but not released by the Pablo label until 1991.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
Reception
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated that “tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims and pianist Jimmy Rowles’ tribute to Billie Holiday is melodic, tasteful, and largely memorable … they perform 11 songs associated with Holiday, including quite a few that would have been lost in obscurity if Lady Day had not uplifted them with her recordings… A lyrical and heartfelt tribute”.[ 5]
