Zoot Sims - Bill Bailey
Years ago I bought the album Down Home by Zoot Sims on vinyl. It instantly became one of my favorite jazz albums. Just nice and easy, middle of the road, happy jazz. Which I love the most!
This is the theme and solo of the song Bill Bailey, which originally is a traditional American song from the early 20th century. This solo really shows how much this man could swing. He sure was one of the best!
