Al Zoot and Al Cohn


A long time ago now, my grandad died and I inherited some old Jazz, one of the records was Al Zoot and Al Cohn. When I grabbed a hand full being young I had no idea about Jazz and mainly choose this one as I liked the cover! Funny enough this one and a bunch of other 60s english were soon on my record deck, but back then I was not feeling/hearing the loops that I would look for now so never sampled it.
The record hosts, not only Al Cohn and Zoot Zimms on Tenor Saxophone but another familier name Stan Tracy and as it was only released on World Records so is pretty much only ever going to be dug in the UK. The only time I have see it was in Across the Tracks (Shop in Brighton) where it was a hundred squid! I was shocked when I saw it for that much, but like alot of English stuff its pretty collectable and can vary in price. Anyways I going to get some sound clips of this record up, definately worth checking out, and its never been reiussed so its unlikely you will hear it else where... Peace I am going check I haven't missed any samples on this beauty....
