The record
Zoot Sims with Stu Williamson doubling trumpet and valve trombone, backed by Kenny Drew, Ralph Peña and Jimmy Pratt -- four tracks on a ten-inch New Jazz mono LP from 1954, NJLP 1102. The title itself places the date in Hollywood and misspells the leader as 'Zoot Simms'. Williamson's doubling is the wrinkle worth listening for.
