Often defined as a "Cool" musician, Sims tended to follow Ben Webster's warm style with an exact model of inventive and tireless swing, a tenor sax that never played a single inappropriate phrase. This panoramic CD ranges his early-'50s Quartets for Vogue & Prestige, displaying his tremendous sense of the improvisation, featuring the piano excellences of Gerry Wiggins and John Lewis, plus a friendly Sextet bonus track with Kai Winding and his ex-Hermanite colleague Al Cohn. Includes Night and Day; Slingin' Hash; Dancing in the Dark; Memories of You; Tangerine, and more!
