Zoot Sims - Passion Flower: Zoot Sims Plays Duke Ellington - Analogue Productions Pablo LP

180 Gram Vinyl, Gatefold Jacket, Mastered from the Original Analog Master Tape, Pressed at QRP

Here is an album of Duke Ellington compositions arranged and conducted by Benny Carter, with Zoot Sims as principal soloist. Among the many albums Sims made for Pablo, the Ellington project was particularly close to his heart — the Ellington band of 1940 and '41 was a formative influence on the young tenorman. Fittingly, Sims and pianist Jimmy Rowles give "Bojangles" a rare turn, and Sims delivers an achingly beautiful reading of Duke's "Your Love Has Faded." This Analogue Productions reissue was mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tape, pressed at Quality Record Pressings, and housed in a gatefold Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.
