Zoot & Al: The Brotherhood of Prez

/images/public/jazznotes/ZootAl_ZootAl.jpg

 

Tenor saxophonists Zoot Sims and Al Cohn were both 22 when they met in a Salt Lake City parking lot one night before a gig in January 1948. That night Al joined Woody Herman's Second Herd, known as the Four Brothers band, and launched a friendship and musical collaboration with Zoot Sims that would last a lifetime.
